Overring methods is a very powerfull way of factoring the code and produce complete fonctionnalities. However useless overriding methods can be a problem for the simplicity of the source code.
How we detect
CAST Highlight counts one occurrence each time a method only call its parent classes’s method with the same name and arguments.
class FooBar {
public function __construct($a, $b) {
parent::__construct($a, $b);
}
}
