           Summary: void* vs. object type overloading fails
           Product: D
           Version: 1.029
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: shro8822 vandals.uidaho.edu


one option is an exact match but it still fails? (adding a cast to void* fixes
it)

class C
{
   void opIndexAssign(void*,int){}
   void opIndexAssign(C,int){}
}

void main()
{
  C c = new C;
  c[0] = null;
}

Error:
Line 10: function C.opIndexAssign called with argument types:
        (void*,int)
matches both:
        C.opIndexAssign(void*,int)
and:
        C.opIndexAssign(C,int)

null is not a simple void* like it is in C. It exact matches several different
types, including objects and void*. Hence the ambiguity.

I should add that this 'works' in D 2.0 because partial ordering is used to
resolve overloading conflicts.

The error message leave a lot to be desired.

Re-opening at low priority as a diagnostic bug.

It should be fixed "sooner or later" even if it requiters tweaking the type
system. Just like the "invalid expressions are of type null" thing.

EDIT:

<-Just like the "invalid expressions are of type null" thing.
->Just like the "invalid expressions are of type int" thing.
