Hello!

I need to overload opEquals on shared class C

shared class C
{
    override bool opEquals(Object o) { return false; }
}

But compilation fails with the message:
Error: function f700.C.opEquals does not override any function, did you
mean to override 'object.Object.opEquals'?

What am I doing wrong?

Object.opEquals is not marked shared. You can't override a non-shared method with a shared one.

You need to remove override.

But... unfortunately, this may not work in practice. The opEquals handling for objects is pretty much screwed unless you have unshared mutable objects. I think it may work for const objects, but not in a good way.
