Description Ellery Newcomer 2013-06-04 18:29:03 UTC 
class A {
    string filename() const { return "1";}
}

class B : A {
    override string filename() { return "2";}
}

void main(){
}

yields

tink.d(6): Error: function tink.B.filename does not override any function, did you mean to override 'tink.A.filename'?

There should probably be some mention of const in there.

I'm taking this.
It's a nice diversion.
Comment 2 RazvanN 2021-05-11 09:09:05 UTC 
This was fixed. Today's compiler yields:

onlineapp.d(6): Error: function `string onlineapp.B.filename()` does not override any function, did you mean to override `const string onlineapp.A.filename()`?

Closing as w4m.
