Re: Compiler error using static function toString

[Alex Harui]

Not too surprising...  Can you file a GitHub issue with a simple test case?

    Yes,
     if I rename the static function to "toStringSome" the compiler stop to 
complain about that.

    Hmm.  I agree that doesn't make sense.  Try changing the name of the 
function just to see if there is sensitivity to the "toString".  "toString" is 
handled in a strange way in AS.

        Hi , 
        there is a compiler error on the code bellow, 
        is any reason to avoid this type of code? Or it is a bug ?
        
        
        
        package org.comp
        {
                public class ToStringImp
                {
                        public static function toString(str:String):String
                        {
                                return str;
                        }
                }
        }
        
        
        package org.comp
        {
                import org.apache.royale.events.EventDispatcher;
                import org.apache.royale.events.IEventDispatcher;
                
                public class CompError extends EventDispatcher
                {
                        public function CompError(target:IEventDispatcher=null)
                        {
                                super(target);
                        }
                        
                        override public function toString():String
                        {
                                
                                //compiler message : 
                                //1137: Incorrect number of arguments.  
Expected no
        more than 0     
                                return ToStringImp.toString("some string 
value");
                        }
                }
        }
