    This week some more work was done on inheriteRS to support inheriting non-trait implementations of functions.

    Basically

    use inheriters::specialisations;
    
    specialisations!(
        struct Parent {
            attr1: u8,
        }
        impl Parent {
            fn from_parent(self) -> u8 { 8 }
            fn overridden(self) -> u8 { self.attr1 }
        }
        
        #[inherit(Child)]
        struct Child {
            attr2: u8,
        }
        impl Child {
            fn overridden(self) -> u8 { self.attr2 }
        }
    );
    

    results in

    struct Parent {
        attr1: u8,
    }
    impl Parent {
        fn from_parent(self) -> u8 { 8 }
        fn overridden(self) -> u8 { self.attr1 }
    }
    
    
    struct Child {
        attr1: u8, // new
        attr2: u8,
    }
    impl Child {
        fn from_parent(self) -> u8 { 8 } // new
        fn overridden(self) -> u8 { self.attr2 }
    }
    

    There might be some clean-up necessary code-wise and the README has to be expanded. But the project is well on its way to version 1! It’s a pity codeberg doesn’t have easy CI/CD yet nor domain hosting e.g inheriters.codeberg.io or something. So auto-formatting, testing, auto-tagging, etc. will have to come once I can convince myself to setup a VPS somewhere that hosts all that.
