The following code fails to compile:
class Foo {
auto foo() {
return "Foo.foo";
}
}
class Bar : Foo {
override auto foo() {
return "Bar.foo";
}
}
void main() {}
It doesn't matter if "override" is specified or not. The error message received is:
Error: function main.Bar.foo of type () overrides but is not covariant with main.Foo.foo of type ()
