How can I call the default method instead of the c

问题:

Why is the behavior of Default Interface Methods changed in C# 8? In the past the following code (When the Default interface methods was demo not released):

interface IDefaultInterfaceMethod
{
    // By default, this method will be virtual, and the virtual keyword can be here used!
    virtual void DefaultMethod()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("I am a default method in the interface!");
    }

}

interface IOverrideDefaultInterfaceMethod : IDefaultInterfaceMethod
{
    void IDefaultInterfaceMethod.DefaultMethod()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("I am an overridden default method!");
    }
}

class AnyClass : IDefaultInterfaceMethod, IOverrideDefaultInterfaceMethod
{
}

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        IDefaultInterfaceMethod anyClass = new AnyClass();
        anyClass.DefaultMethod();

        IOverrideDefaultInterfaceMethod anyClassOverridden = new AnyClass();
        anyClassOverridden.DefaultMethod();
    }
}

has the following output:

Console output:

I am a default method in the interface!
I am an overridden default method!

But with the C# 8 last version the code above is producing the following output:

Console output:

I am an overridden default method!
I am an overridden default method!

Anyone can explain to me why this behavior is changed?

Note:

IDefaultInterfaceMethod anyClass = new AnyClass(); anyClass.DefaultMethod();

((IDefaultInterfaceMethod) anyClass).DefaultMethod(); // STILL the same problem!??

I suspect a better question would be:

How can I call the default method instead of the concrete implementation?

The feature was planned but was cut from C# 8 in April 2019, because an efficient implementation would require support from the runtime. This couldn't be added in time before release. The feature would have to work well both for C# and VB.NET - F# doesn't like interfaces anyway.

if B.M is not present at run time, A.M() will be called. For base() and interfaces, this is not supported by the runtime, so the call will throw an exception instead. We'd like to add support for this in the runtime, but it is too expensive to make this release.

We have some workarounds, but they do not have the behavior we want, and are not the preferred codegen.

Our implementation for C# is somewhat workable, although not exactly what we would like, but the VB implementation would be much more difficult. Moreover, the implementation for VB would require the interface implementation methods to be public API surface.

It will work through a base() call similar to how classes work. Coopying the proposal example :

interface I1
{ 
    void M(int) { }
}

interface I2
{
    void M(short) { }
}

interface I3
{
    override void I1.M(int) { }
}

interface I4 : I3
{
    void M2()
    {
        base(I3).M(0) // What does this do?
    }
}
