I have a class like this:
class File {
type: FileType
url: URL
func fetch(from server: Server) {
type(of: server).get(from: url)
}
}
However, it fails to compile with "Cannot call value of non-function type
‘File’” inside the body of fetch(from:). I believe the reason is that self.type
shadows type(of: server).
Other than renaming the “type” property, is there any other way to work around
it? I tried "Foundation.type(of: server)” and found out that it’s from the
standard library and not Foundation. Is there a prefix that denotes the
standard library?
A more general question, since this is clearly a function call, why would it be
shadowed by self.type, which is clearly a property access?
I’m using Swift 4 in Xcode 9.
Regards,
Glen
