Topic: getproperty for a wrapper


view this post on Zulip Eric Forgy (Feb 04 2021 at 20:16):

Hi,

I have a wrapper type and I'd like to overwrite Base.getproperty so that A.x returns A.values.x, but I am using getproperty in getproperty and... stack overflow :boom:

Is there someway to do this?

This? getfield(A, :values).x

getfield is basically the version of getproperty that can't be overloaded and always refers to the real fields of a struct. So usually, it's the thing that getproperty is implemented in terms of.
