Today when a generated member has the same name as a method on
System.Object
we generate the method with anew
in order to hide the base member. However we only compare via the method name and not the method signature, meaning we add morenew
than is necessary.For example this creates a warning because
new
is not needed:These are the methods from
System.Object
that we currently check against:With this change we now are more explicit about what methods we are checking against so we can ensure that parameters and static-ness match as well.
This eliminates 87 warnings from the API-29
Mono.Android.dll
build.
