Migration: do not union inferred types in overrides.

Previously, when handling an override such as:

  abstract class A {
    int/*?*/ f();
  }
  class C implements A {
    f() => 0;
  }

we would create a union edge between the implicit return type of C.f
and the explicit return type of A.f.  This was a problem because
nullability information can propagate bidirectionally through union
edges, so it could result in types unnecessarily becoming nullable,
e.g.:

  abstract class A {
    int/*?*/ f();
  }
  abstract class B {
    int f(); // Should not need to be made nullable
  }
  class C implements A, B {
    f() => 0;
  }

This CL fixes the problem by just making ordinary unidirectional edges
for overrides involving inferred types.

Dart

A client-optimized language for fast apps on any platform

Dart is:

  • Optimized for UI: Develop with a programming language specialized around the needs of user interface creation

  • Productive: Make changes iteratively: use hot reload to see the result instantly in your running app

  • Fast on all platforms: Compile to ARM & x64 machine code for mobile, desktop, and backend. Or compile to JavaScript for the web

Dart's flexible compiler technology lets you run Dart code in different ways, depending on your target platform and goals:

  • Dart Native: For programs targeting devices (mobile, desktop, server, and more), Dart Native includes both a Dart VM with JIT (just-in-time) compilation and an AOT (ahead-of-time) compiler for producing machine code.

  • Dart Web: For programs targeting the web, Dart Web includes both a development time compiler (dartdevc) and a production time compiler (dart2js).
