Why `this` in a contravariant position in an interface doesn't work out
<?hh // strict
interface Base {
public function foo(this $v): void;
}
final class Derived<T> implements Base {
public function bar(): void {}
public function foo(this $v): void {
$v->bar(); // an `OtherDerived` here would be unwelcome.
}
}
final class OtherDerived implements Base {
public function foo(this $v): void {}
}
function violate(Base $v, Base $x): void {
$v->foo($x);
}
/* HH_FIXME[1002] Try to violate in strict mode */
violate(new Derived(), new OtherDerived());
