           Summary: std.conv.to!(bool)(int): conversion from integer to
                    bool
           Product: D
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Phobos
        AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: growlercab gmail.com



Improve std.conv.to!bool(int) to convert from integer to bool.

Compiling 0.to!bool gives the following compiler error:

Error: template std.conv.toImpl cannot deduce template function from argument
types !(bool)(int)

I would expected the following snippet to compile and throw no assertions...

---
import std.conv;

void main() {
    assert(0.to!bool == false);
    assert(1.to!bool == true);


    int ival = 1;
    assert(ival.to!bool == true);

    ival = 0;
    assert(ival.to!bool == false); 


    // Could follow C++ implicit conversion rules perhaps? 
    // Where non-zero == true
    ival = 55;
    assert(ival.to!bool == true);
}
---

The current semantics of "to!X" means that there is range validation. This
means that something such as:

"to!bool(55)" *should* trigger an overflow exception.

This might sound inconvenient at first, but on the other hand, if it didn't,
than to would just be a glorified cast to bool.

Good point, range checking should be in place so ignore that last part of the code. If this is implemented then the following should work: --- import std.conv; void main() { assert(0.to!bool == false); assert(1.to!bool == true); int ival = 1; assert(ival.to!bool == true); ival = 0; assert(ival.to!bool == false); } --- Thanks, G. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------

The fix is pretty trivial, bools where not supported for the simple fact that
they are not on the "support" list.

The fix is:

1. std.conv:

Line 1309 Change:
T toImpl(T, S)(S value)
    if (!isImplicitlyConvertible!(S, T) &&
        (isNumeric!S || isSomeChar!S) &&
        (isNumeric!T || isSomeChar!T) && !is(T == enum))

To:
T toImpl(T, S)(S value)
    if (!isImplicitlyConvertible!(S, T) &&
        (isNumeric!S || isSomeChar!S || isBoolean!S) &&
        (isNumeric!T || isSomeChar!T || isBoolean!T) && !is(T == enum))

2. Traits:
Line 5691 Change:
template mostNegative(T)
    if(isNumeric!T || isSomeChar!T)

To:
template mostNegative(T)
    if(isNumeric!T || isSomeChar!T || isBoolean!T)

I don't have time to fix this myself right now, but if someone else does it,
and writes the corresponding unittests, I'd be glad to review it.
