While porting Delphi CLX library to fpc/Lazarus, I mixed up things, and
I tried to override an ancestor method which is static in CLX, because I
remembered it to be virtual in Lazarus.
So far so good, but it took me some time to sort out the problem,
because the compiler error message was "There's no ancestor method to be
overridden", instead of "A static method can't be overridden" (as Delphi
tells in such cases).
So I started looking for typos, wrong inheritance, etc, instead of
looking for the real bug. Has this error message been fixed in 2.3.1 or
it's still there?
I don't think it is fixed based on the error file:
~/fpc/compiler/msg>>> grep -i overridden errore.msg
% overridden in the descendent class with the \var{override} directive.
If you
parser_e_nothing_to_be_overridden=03058_E_There is no method in an
ancestor class to be overridden: "$1"
parser_e_overridden_methods_not_same_ret=03066_E_Overridden methods must
have the same return type: "$2" is overriden by "$1" which has another
return type
% If you declare overridden methods in a class definition, they must
% should be overridden by a descendant class.
parser_w_overridden_methods_not_same_ret=03218_W_Overridden methods must
have a related return type. This code may crash, it depends on a Delphi
parser bug ("$2" is overridden by "$1" which has another return type)
% If you declare overridden methods in a class definition, they must
% method that wasn't overridden.
Please submit a bug report with example code so it will not be forgotten.
