           Summary: erroneous matching on specialized template function
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: Other

            Status: NEW
          Severity: regression
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD

A bug has been introduced in 2.037 which in some circumstances causes a
specialized template function to be considered a match even when though it
isn't. 

I tried to cut it down to a small test case but I didn't succeed,
it must be something to do with a specific instantiation which is causing the
bug.

FWIW:

Compiles fine w/ 2.036

If I can make a smaller test case, I'll update this bug report.

You can repro the compile error in the spiritd test app by doing:

/////////
import spiritd.match, spiritd.nil;

void main(string[] args)
{
    Match!(nilT) temp;
    conv!(Match!(char))(temp);
}
/////////

(you only need the match bits to see the problem, rather than the whole thing).

Reduced test case:

struct Ghost(T) {}

void bug4430(T)(Ghost!(T) x) {}
void bug4430(T)(Ghost!(int) x)    {}

void spirit4430()
{
    Ghost!(int) temp;
    bug4430!(Ghost!(char))( temp );
}

Even further reduced, shows that a class template is not required.

struct Ghost {}

void bug4430(T)(int x)   {}
void bug4430(T)(Ghost x) {}

void spirit4430()

    bug4430!(char)( 777 );

This bug was triggered by svn commit 273, which was related to opDispatch.
The immediate change was in CallExp::semantic(). Previously, it attempted full
explicit instantiation, and if that failed, it tried partial explicit
instantiation. In this case, the full explicit instantiation was failing
(because there were two candidate templates), and then partial instantiation
succeeded. 
After svn 273, it calls needsTypeInference(). If that returns true, it does
partial instantiation, otherwise does full instantiation. In this example, it's
returning false.

There is a situation missing from needsTypeInference(). If there is more than
one candidate template, and they are ALL function templates, and they are ALL 
potentially explicitly instantiated, we need to do partial instantiation.

Template.c, needsTypeInference(), around line 4625.
