wrongly adding override when name of function matches parent class (but not return type) #40

Open WebFreak001 opened 2 years ago

WebFreak001 commented 2 years ago

Example: Gtk.Widget defines gtk.c.types.GtkTextDirection gtk.Widget.Widget.getDirection() Libadwaita (Adw-1.gir) defines GtkArrowType getDirection()

girtod marks the method as override

WebFreak001 commented 2 years ago

D doesn't allow redefining functions with different return type.

To work around this you can use

public GtkArrowType _getDirection() { ... }
alias getDirection = _getDirection; // makes getDirection calls on this type call this function

however this could lead to confusion. Manually disabling code for the function and reimplementing works, but something easier in girtod (like a command to rename functions)

(like a command to rename functions)

You can use alias to rename the function:

alias: get_direction _getDirection

ah ok thanks, I didn't see that in the readme for functions, but it's there under global - didn't think replace ctype with dtype would apply to function names as well
