HitTestable.hitTest() is abstract, which means that reference to super.hitTest() at line 287 below ends up flagged as unresolved by DFE.

RendererBinding itself is abstract and is a mixin. This should just resolve to whatever ends up being the superclass of RendererBinding in the concrete class, surely.

not sure how to add Peter to this comment, he should be able to confirm this, but from what I can see DFE needs concrete instance methods(this does match what the spec says if I read it right: https://github.com/gbracha/lessRestrictedMixins/blob/master/proposal.md#16151-method-lookup)

Yes, DFE expects to find a concrete method in the super class of the mixin with a super call. Remember that the RendererBinding is also a regular class, and when we're compiling it, we may not know yet that someone intends to use it as a mixin.
My understanding is that the language team is considering this aspect of mixins and allow you to declare intent.

I'm not sure how to express what we're doing today within these constraints.

I hate to point this out, but. I think it's "mixin" not mix-in, see for example https://www.dartlang.org/articles/language/mixins The changes LGTM. |
This prevents some of our mixins from being subclassed. Also, move mixins to using 'extends' instead of 'implements' for future compatibility with Dart changes. Also, rename a class that had Mixin in the name but was not a mixin.

Fixed mix-in => mixin. |

I will land this when Travis goes green. I'll follow-up with additional patches to fix the remaining DFE problems once we know how to solve them. |
