int flush() in aJsonStream overrides void flush() in Print

[ryanneve]

It looks like aJsonStream.flush() returns an int, but is trying to override Print.flush() which returns void.

I'm getting compile errors with arduino 1.8.3:

In file included from C:\...\Energy_JSON.h:3:0,
                 from C:\...\Energy_JSON.cpp:1:

  int flush();

     virtual void flush() { /* Empty implementation for backward compatibility */ }

Changing aJsonStream.flush() so it doesn't return anything fixes the problem, but not sure if it might create other problems.

Same problem here, can't compile using latest IDE and ESP8266 latest version too. Same error.

same to me here. I commented out the corresponding flush method (in cpp and in h) to make my build work again.

FWIW, I created a patch for this. I also checked the aJson code and no one is calling flush so it shouldn't hurt the library. Any application code checking the return code of flush might be affected but it's an easy fix - don't check the return code (it doesn't tell you anything useful anyway).
