Because D has overloading and contravariant overriding is factually indistinguishable from overloading, an annotation must be used to clarify: It could be as simple as giving override an optional type list that signifies the types of the parameters of the method to be overridden: Attribute: ... override + override Parameters class X {} class Y : X {} class C { void foo(Y y) {} } class D : C { override(Y) void foo(X x) {} // overrides foo(Y y) } It's similar to the VisibilityAttribute package with a QualifiedIdentifier to signify the exact package it should be visible from. It's very specific and one could argue that overloading and forwarding solves the issue in almost all cases. class D : C { override void foo(Y y) { foo(cast(X) y); } void foo(X x) { ... } } There might be very specific circumstances where this is not a viable option. -- |

https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3075 --- Comment #31 from Bolpat <qs.il.paperinik@gmail.com> --- In the context of Argument-dependent Attributes (ADA) or Attributes for Higher-Order Functions (AfHOF) (pending DIPs), contravariant overloading is necessary. Imagine a proper sink-toString interface. The whole reason to have a sink in the first place instead of returning an allocated string is not doing the allocation. So, considering interface SinkToString { void toString(scope void delegate(char) @nogc) @nogc; } the following override should work in some way: class C : SinkToString { override(scope void delegate(char) @nogc) void toString(in void delegate(char) sink) @nogc const { ... } } The intention of the interface is: toString is @nogc and may require a @nogc delegate for this. An implementation of it may not require a @nogc delegate in its internal logic, but by the reasoning explained in AfHOF, calling C.toString with a @nogc argument will result in a @nogc execution. ADA is similar (as far as I can tell): one would replace the @nogc of C.toString by @nogc(*). -- |
