           Summary: TypeInfo opEquals returns incorrect results
           Product: D
           Version: 1.045
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: nfxjfg gmail.com


If a and b are TypeInfo, a==b can return true, even if a and b refer to
different types (and object instances). Both Phobos and Tango are affected.

The code example at the end of this report demonstrates this. The second
assertion fails, because opEquals() returns true when comparing two different
TypeInfos. This is because opEquals compares the two TypeInfo by their
toString() results. The returnd string doesn't contain any information about
the delegate parameters, ths delegates with the same return type are considered
equal.

I wonder if TypeInfo.opEquals() shouldn't only compare the addresses of the
TypeInfo objects. The string comparision seems pointless, even if you use DLLs.
With DLLs, you should either not attempt to use objects from another instance
of the runtime, or you should use proper solutions like DDL, which enables to
DLLs to share the same runtime. The string comparision hack is hard to get
right, because the compiler needs just another method to encode the complete
information about a type as string. (A better hack would be to compare the
mangled symbol names.)



//program will execute successfully if bug is fixed

class X {
    void a() {}
    void b(int z, short c) {}
}

void main() {
    auto z = new X();
    TypeInfo a = typeid(typeof(&z.a));
    TypeInfo b = typeid(typeof(&z.b));
    //doesn't fail (ok)
    assert(a !is b, "1");
    //fails (which is wrong, because both TypeInfos are different!)
    assert(a != b, "2");
}

Fixing this in D1 will produce some binary incompatibilities, so I'm going to
just do a partial fix for it. Fixed for D2.
