Research direction
The issue points to the custom linker for overloaded functions and methods in the LOX example language, but names no files or tests. Start by finding that linker and the test cases that exercise overload selection. The open questions are how to pick the best match when several overloads fit through implicit conversion, what to do on ambiguity, and how to report candidates when none match. Settling those needs a design decision from maintainers before any code change.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
- related to the custom linker in LOX for selecting overloaded functions and methods
- What about if more than one overload matches (thanks to implicit conversion etc.)? How to select the "best" match? What to do in case of ambiguities?
- If no one matches, provide a more "speaking" error message with candidates instead of linking with the first overload?
