Description

« Hide

The following sample fails to compile:
import System

class Prop:
[Property(Object)]
o = Object()

p = Prop()

Changing the name of the property to "Objec" makes it compile fine. Changing the name of the property to any other type in System is fine. Changing both the Property name to "Array" and the o assignment to "o = Array()" causes the same error.

Yeah the boo compiler can't infer the type when it is recursive, too:

import System

class Prop:
o = Blah //o as object = Blah will work
Blah:
get:
return o
set:
o = value

So this might be just something you have to workaround by declaring the type "o as object = ..."

Let's see this issue as a vote for supporting

import System.Windows.Forms
class MainForm(Form):
def constructor():
Size = Size(10, 10)

We should create a new jira issue then or change the title of this one.

Feature request: inferring correct type when two types are of same name but one is callable (or a type you are invoking) and the other is not (an instance)
