           Summary: Problem with final & override
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: nobody@puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: bearophile_hugs@eml.cc

This D2 program compiles and runs with DMD 2.048 with no errors:


import std.c.stdio: puts;
class Base {
    this() { foo(); }
    private void foo() { puts("Base.foo"); } // called
}
class Derived : Base {
    private override void foo() { // not called
        puts("Derived.foo");
        super.foo();
    }
}
void main() {
    auto d = new Derived();
}


Output:
Base.foo


If Base.foo() is private then it's final. Then what is Derived.foo()
overriding?

The fact that private has anything to do with final is arguably a bug. It certainly contradicts TDPL. The bug on that is http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4542

Now, this is still a bug. Either dmd still makes private final, at which point overriding the method should be a bug, or it follows TDPL and does not make it final, at which point, the derived method should be called, which it isn't. So, this is a definitely a bug, but I'd favor fixing #4542 and make it call the derived method rather than making overriding the method an error.

Private methods are now final by default and OP sample errors. Whether or not that will change (probably not) depends on Issue 4542.
