           Summary: Wrong error messages for inherited @safe class method
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: diagnostic
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: nobody@puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: bearophile_hugs@eml.cc

import std.stdio: writeln;
abstract class Foo {
    void spam() @safe;
}
class Bar : Foo {
    override void spam() {
        writeln;
    }
}
void main() {}



DMD 2.063.2 gives the error message:

temp.d(7): Error: safe function 'bug2.Bar.spam' cannot call system function
'std.stdio.writeln!().writeln'

Even assuming that it's correct to label writeln() as a system function,
Bar.foo is not labeled @safe. So I think the correct error message is similar
to (note the use of system and @safe words below):


test.d(6): Error: system function bug2.Bar.spam does not override any function, did you mean to override @safe function 'bug2.Foo.spam'?

This is correct error message. Bar.spam is implicitly inherits @safe attriubte from Foo.spam.

http://dlang.org/function#function-inheritance

Then Bar.spam is implicitly annotated with @safe, and system function call will become invalid.
