and:

If I cast the 1.1 to float it works fine. It looks like it's using the  
base of all parameters when only one needs it. This didn't happen a few  
DMD versions ago.

Another less urgent bug would be the wrong line number.

1.1 is a double, use 1.1f for floats

It still looks like a bug :\ double implicitly converts to float and Foo.FOO exactly matches with Foo.

Foo and Bar implicitly also convert to int. There is no exact match for (double, Foo) thus all implicit conversions are checked: (double, int) - 2 hits (float, Foo) - 1 hits exact: 0 hits implicit: 3 hits -> Error Thomas -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQFCOmjW3w+/yD4P9tIRAhr1AJ9kVO+eDVUua4DOPm6Dw79cWfq5pgCfYThj gmUeuDtCvHU8T9wLjTNeMDM= =z87Y -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Can't it implicitly convert one, then the other, before doing both at once? i.e. do it in phases and only complain if multiple hits are found in each phase. i.e. [phase0] exact match [phase1] implicitly convert one param [phase2] implicitly convert two params ...etc.. so: [phase0] (double,Foo) [phase1] (float,Foo),(double,int),etc [phase2] (float,int),etc in this case a single match will be found in phase1: (float,Foo); Regan

I thought it might be :) We'll have to toss this idea round to find out if there are any problems with it, specifically the sort of complexity Walter has intentionally tried to avoid thus far. Regan

And what phases would you do?  Which implict conversion is "more

I understand his position and support it. I'm not sure this adds the same level of confusion that he is trying to avoid, we'll have to poke and prod it to find out :)
 And what phases would you do?
Phases 0 thru x, as shown below (and originally).
 Which implict conversion is "more precendent"?
Within each phase, no implicit conversion has "more precedent". The phases themselves do, phase 0 being the highest thru to phase x being the lowest. phase 0 being an explicit match. phase 1 being an implicit match where 1 of the params is implicitly cast. .. phase x being an implicit match where x of the params is implicitly cast.
 Which one should be done first?  Which one last?
Within each phase it doesn't matter. If 2 or more matches are found within a phase, it's an error. Regan
