           Summary: Template specialization checks for equality rather than
                    convertibility
           Product: D
           Version: 2.008
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: rejects-valid, spec
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: dhasenan gmail.com



vice versa.

When specializing a template based on the template parameters of its argument,
a check is performed for equality, not convertibility. For every other type
specialization, a check is performed for convertibility rather than equality.
(Equality would be redundant in those situations, and pretty much every
situation.)

Example:
---
class Foo(T){}
class Bar : Foo!(int) {}
template GetFooArg (T : Foo!(U), U) {
   alias U GetFooArg;
}

static assert (is (GetFooArg!(Foo!(int)) == int)); // works
static assert (is (GetFooArg!(Bar) == int)); // false
pragma (msg, GetFooArg!(Bar).stringof); // template instance GetFooArg!(Bar) 
// does not match any template declaration

The patch in bug 4173 fixes this.

Yes, of course. Why did you mark this as invalid???? The bug is definitely valid, and it's fixed in the upcoming beta. Please don't do this sort of thing again. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------

I guess I'm confused. It's claimed that the bug was resolved, but the latest version has the bug. Since the latest version in fact hasn't resolved the bug, doesn't that mean that the resolution was invalid? -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------

1.063 is not the latest version. (BTW, if the bug was still not fixed, you'd mark it as 'REOPENED' not INVALID). Bugs get marked as fixed when they are fixed in svn, not when a release happens (the inability to distinguish between the two is something I intensely dislike about Bugzilla). -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
