X::Inheritance::Unsupported Reference

Compilation error due to inheriting from an ineligible type

What it is #

Routines #

Signatures are reproduced from the documentation, including their declared return types. A routine listed here is part of the type's published interface; whether Raku++ implements it is a separate question, answered by the examples below.

method child-typename #

The name of the type that tries to inherit.

method parent #

The type object that the child tried to inherit from.

Examples, run three ways #

Every example below comes from the official documentation, together with the output that documentation asserts. Each was then executed by Rakudo and by Raku++ when this page was built. Where the three agree, one result is shown; where they do not, all three are — because which of them is wrong is exactly the information worth having.

3 no-output

class X::Inheritance::Unsupported does X::Comp { }

Not executed: the documentation states no expected output for this example.

enum E <Ex Ey>;
class B is E { };

Not executed: the documentation states no expected output for this example.

E does not support inheritance, so B cannot inherit from it

Not executed: the documentation states no expected output for this example.
