base keyword can only be used when base class explicit?
f#

This works:

1
2
3

type SpecBuilder<'a>() =
    inherit obj()
    override x.Equals(other) = base.Equals(other)

but this doesn't:

1
2
3

type SpecBuilder<'a>() =

    override x.Equals(other) = base.Equals(other) //type or namespace 'base" is not defined

Am I missing something, or is this by design?

.

Hm, dunno, I opened bug 4826 in our bug database to either make it legal or improve the diagnostic.

Thanks!

This should be legal - its a bug

same here, using version 1.9.9.9. is this already fixed?

override this.Finalize() = 
        try
            Dispose false
        finally
            base.Finalize()

gives: The namespace or module 'base' is not defined

my type does not inherit from any class but System.Object..

is there a workaround to access the base anyway?

kind regards

I can't speak as to whether or not this issue has been fixed in the RTM version of F#, but in 1.9.9.9 the workaround is the same as in Kurt's original post in this thread: explicitly inherit from obj.

alright.. i did it like this now. works fine, but as the code is a template for other users to built plugins for our software, i am not really happy about it as is. so, if you hear of a fix, please report here...

thx!
