nullable_ type_ in_ with_ clause
A class or mixin can't mix in a nullable type.
Description
#
The analyzer produces this diagnostic when a class or mixin declaration has
a with clause, and a mixin is followed by a ?.
It isn't valid to specify a nullable mixin because doing so would have no
meaning; it wouldn't change either the interface or implementation being
inherited by the class containing the with clause.
Note, however, that it is valid to use a nullable type as a type argument
to the mixin, such as class A with B<C?> {}.
Example
#
The following code produces this diagnostic because A? is a nullable
type, and nullable types can't be used in a with clause:
mixin M {}
class C with M? {}
Common fixes
#Remove the question mark from the type:
mixin M {}
class C with M {}
