module test;

abstract class SuperClass {
     public pure void methodA() {

     }
}

class SubClass {
     public override pure void methodB() {
         // How do I call the parent methodA() from here?
     }
}

super.method

so

abstract class SuperClass {
     public pure void methodA() {

     }
}

class SubClass : SuperClass {
     public override pure void methodA() {
         // calls the parents
         super.methodA();
     }
}


To do it from outside the class, you write the class name:


void main() {
         auto obj = new SubClass();
         obj.SuperClass.methodA(); // calls the specific super 
method
}

Thanks! :D

Why aren't these things in the documentation? :/

Submit a bug to the bugtracker with "[dox]" in its subject line. This is
the only way to guarantee the docs will improve.

http://dlang.org/function#virtual-functions
=========================

To avoid dynamic binding on member function call, insert base 
class name before the member function name. For example:

...


void main() {
   auto d = new D();
   assert(d.foo() == 3);    // calls D.foo
   assert(d.B.foo() == 1);  // calls B.foo
   assert(d.C.foo() == 2);  // calls C.foo
   d.test();
}

=========================
