extension_ type_ constructor_ with_ super_ invocation
Extension type constructors can't include super initializers.
Description
#The analyzer produces this diagnostic when a constructor in an extension type includes an invocation of a super constructor in the initializer list. Because extension types don't have a superclass, there's no constructor to invoke.
Example
#
The following code produces this diagnostic because the constructor E.n
invokes a super constructor in its initializer list:
extension type E(int i) {
E.n() : i = 0, super.n();
}
Common fixes
#Remove the invocation of the super constructor:
extension type E(int i) {
E.n() : i = 0;
}
