That is a comment emitted by the importer, unfortunately it is impossible for non objc to mimic that behavior 100% because it is an init method that is constructed from a class method.
@interface Foo : NSObject + (Foo *)fooNamed:(NSString *)name; // this is not an inherited init method in that it will always return an instance of a Foo no matter the subclass it is called from @end @interface Bar : Foo @end // in objc it is like this: Foo *f = [Bar fooNamed:@“test”]; // in swift it is like this: let f = Bar(named:”test”) but obviously by the method fooNamed always returns a Foo instead of an instancetype because it actually looks up Foo objects from a table. > On Mar 17, 2016, at 7:35 AM, Daniel Eggert via swift-corelibs-dev > <swift-corelibs-dev@swift.org> wrote: > > There're some initializers (namely in NSURLSession) that have a comment: > > public /*not inherited*/ init(... > > What is this “not inherited” comment trying to convey, and how would one go > about implementing this in Swift? > > /Daniel > > _______________________________________________ > swift-corelibs-dev mailing list > swift-corelibs-dev@swift.org > https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-corelibs-dev _______________________________________________ swift-corelibs-dev mailing list swift-corelibs-dev@swift.org https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-corelibs-dev
