sorry if this was already discussed.
proposing an ability to derive a class from a struct or another value type
(e.g. enum).
would make it easy to wrap value type in a reference type without explicit
code:
struct S {
var v: Int
func method() {}
static staticMethod() {}
}
class C: S {
func otherMethod() {}
// ...
}
let c = C()
c.v = 1
c.method()
C.staticMethod()
c.otherMethod()
shall work as if i had a struct variable and all struct functions
implemented in a class calling through that var:
pseudo code:
class C {
// auto generated internally:
var `struct`: S
func method() {
`struct`.method()
}
static staticMethod() {
S.staticMethod()
}
//---
func otherMethod() {}
}
would also be nice to have ability to overload struct's methods:
class C: S {
override func method() {
super.method()
}
}
and have struct initializators inherited:
let c = C(struct initialization params)
thoughts?
