Hi all,

there was a discussion in 2006 but w/o a result, and I didn't find any
bugs about implicitely casting functions to delegates. It seems to be
impossible as long as function-pointer calls work differently than
delegate calls in the ABI. Will this at some point be fixed?

If not, is there a conversion function in phobos (I didn't find one)? I
played a bit and found that this one might work:

R delegate(A) funcionToDelegate (R, A...) (R function(A) func)
{
  return (A a){ return func(a); };
}

Not sure if this is the de facto answer, but I found this one from back in 
the day.

R delegate(T) toDg(R, T...)(R function(T) fp) {
    struct dg {
        R opCall(T t) {
            return (cast(R function(T)) this) (t);
        }
    }
    R delegate(T) t;
    t.ptr = fp;
    t.funcptr = &dg.opCall;
    return t;
 }

toDelegate, which does it in the most general way, functional objects 
covered.
Sadly enough it's not listed in docs, because of the auto return.
