Tests for overriden methods #33

Closed almondtools closed 7 years ago

Having two classes A extends B

where both define a method public void method() (the one in A overrides)
where method in B is recorded
where method in A delivers other results

will not be reliable.

It is unclear whether this problem can be solved canonically, so logging a warning could be sufficient. Should be analyzed.

A solution to this problem is mentioned here.

Overriden methods are virtually not existent, so recording has limited value. Consequently there should be a message that recording has been skipped.

Yet unfortunately this message cannot be emitted after static analysis. There must be some guard which rules out the recording of methods that are overriden in the current call context.
