https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24643 Issue ID: 24643 Summary: Allow overriding of private/package class methods Product: D Version: D2 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P1 Component: dmd Assignee: nobody puremagic.com Reporter: qs.il.paperinik gmail.com "Symbols with private visibility can only be accessed from within the same module. Private member functions are implicitly final and cannot be overridden." This makes no sense as a derived class in the same module can "see" the method. Also, the spec says nowhere that `package` visibility functions aren’t virtual or abstract, but one get the error message: "function `A.f` `package` functions cannot be `abstract`" And they cannot be overridden. --
