Hi all,
Working on a project Feb/Mar using vim9 classes I filed several issues.
Each time found a workaround, and went on. Finally ran into
https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/12089
vim9class: Calling a base class method through an extending class
fails #12089
Also included "Calling a method in an extended class fails" (fixed a
few days ago)
Put the project back on the shelf, didn't make sense to go on without
inheritance. I wonder if it's worth doing 9.1 if classes (inheritance)
doesn't work.
Took a quick look at the code in Apr/May, but seemed like too much to
take on at the time. Thinking again about moving forward, however
slowly, the first thing I thought to do is add some debug commands to
vim that would dump class and hierarchy information; adding to the
commands as more information was needed. Even the basic structure isn't
clear to me and how it evolves to compilation/run-time. The examples in
the issue referenced above work at script level, fail in a :def. Does
this mean the basic class hierarchy structures are interpreted from
script and then combined into some structures that are used by the
compiler, are the structures also used during runtime. Anyway, I was
encourages to see @yegappan get some things fixed in this area.
I'm not sure how I can best contribute (or, as goes without saying, how
much time I'll have). The biggest problem is it looks like a steep
learning curve. Looking for any suggestions on getting up to speed
enough to contribute.

PS I went with here, rather than discussion. Right choice?
