Given this code:
abstract class A
{
package @property void x(int x);
package @property int x();
}
class B : A
{
package @property override void x(int x) {}
package @property override int x() { return 0; }
}
void main() {}
I get the following message:
onlineapp.d(9): Error: function `onlineapp.B.x` package method is
not virtual and cannot override
onlineapp.d(10): Error: function `onlineapp.B.x` package method
is not virtual and cannot override
Why is that? If the access specifier is private, I can perfectly
understand it - subclasses can't call the private method of
parent class, so there's no need in making it virtual. For
protected/public the code compiles. However, for the package
protection it may happen that a subclass is in the same package
(and just happened to me).
Should I file a bug or is there a reason for such behavior?
