The test case fails even without optimization if the "name" method is made private:

/// A generic class
class Parent<T> {

    func printName() {
        print(self.name())
    }

    private func name() -> String {
        return "Parent"
    }

}

/// Subclass of generic class
class Child: Parent<String> {

    /// This method is not being called
    override private func name() -> String {
        return "Child"
    }

}

let child = Child()
child.printName() // expected "Child" but prints "Parent"

Actually, this seems to work in master. I'm not sure what the fix was, so I'll leave it to Nadav to identify whether this is safe to bring into a Swift 2.2.1.

@belkadan Thanks!

I believe this is already fixed in the 7.3.1 beta that was recently posted.

Suyeol, can you see if the issue is resolved for you with that build?

Confirmed as resolved in Xcode 9 (and likely earlier).
