deprecated_subtype_of_function
Extending 'Function' is deprecated.
Implementing 'Function' has no effect.
Mixing in 'Function' is deprecated.
Description
#The analyzer produces this diagnostic when the class Function
is used in either the extends
, implements
, or with
clause of a class or mixin. Using the class Function
in this way has no semantic value, so it's effectively dead code.
Example
#The following code produces this diagnostic because Function
is used as the superclass of F
:
class F extends Function {}
Common fixes
#Remove the class Function
from whichever clause it's in, and remove the whole clause if Function
is the only type in the clause:
class F {}
