Bug 4557 – Overriding static functions inherited from interfaces

From the page http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/interface.html, the 4th example: interface D { void bar(); static void foo() { } final void abc() { } } class C : D { void bar() { } // ok void foo() { } // error, cannot override static D.foo() void abc() { } // error, cannot override final D.abc() } The abc() definition will error out, but the foo() one will not. This is contrary to what it states in the docs: "Classes that inherit from an interface may not override final or static interface member functions."

There is no error, as foo is _not_ overriding anything. If you add the override keyword it makes this very clear: Error: function testx.C.foo does not override any function
