           Summary: Cannot use int from tuple as an index
           Product: D
           Version: 0.174
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: wbaxter gmail.com


An int in a tuple cannot be used as an index for a tuple, even if it is
completely determined at compile time.

---------------------------
// This doesn't work
template Nth(TList...) {
    const int N = TList[0];
    auto Nth = TList[N];
}
void main()
{
    writefln( Nth!(1,"hi","there") );
}
-------------

In this case the sample can be fixed by using:

   template Nth(int N, TList...) { 

But that's not always the case.

As of DMD 0.175 this can also be worked around by eliminating the N, and
indexing directly with TList[0]:

  template Nth(TList...) {
      auto Nth = TList[TList[0]];
  }

Just retested with 0.177.  This behavior is still there.
(I thought there was a chance it might have been fixed by the last two rounds
of bug slaughters.)

The example is broken because in order for the 'promotion' of the member Nth,
it must be the only member. The following works:

import std.stdio;

template Nth(TList...) {
    const int N = TList[0];
    auto Nth = TList[N];
}
void main()
{
    writefln( Nth!(1,"hi","there").Nth );
}

Good point.  Or use the version I posted above without the intermediate
variable.  I blame the misunderstanding on my youth at the time of reporting
this one.  :-)
