digitalmars.D.learn - Getting .init of a Typetuple

Hi,
I want to do exactly the same as described in
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4536 . The problem is I
can't even get the workaround to work. Dmd complains about the following
template:
---------------------------------------------------------------
template Init(T...)
{
    alias (Tuple!T.init).expand Init;
}
---------------------------------------------------------------

Dmd output:
---------------------------------------------------------------
test.d(18): basic type expected, not (
test.d(18): found '!' when expecting ')'
test.d(18): semicolon expected to close alias declaration
test.d(18): no identifier for declarator T.init
test.d(18): semicolon expected, not ')'
test.d(18): Declaration expected, not ')'
---------------------------------------------------------------

Is it possible that this has recently stopped working? Is this a bug in
dmd or is this the expected behavior? Is there any other way to achieve
the same thing?

This works for me:

template Init( T ) {
     alias TypeTuple!( T.init ) Init;
}

template Init( T, U... ) {
     alias TypeTuple!( T.init, Init!U ) Init;
}

 I think I found this before the bug report and then forgot about it and
 copied an old version. I'll update the bug report accordingly, if the
 latter version works for you.



Great, that works!  Thanks for the quick reply.

Anyway, Simen's solutions is better, a bit less dependency. TypeTuple is a
bit more universal than Tuple.

Simen:


 template Init( T ) {
    alias TypeTuple!( T.init ) Init;
 }

 template Init( T, U... ) {
    alias TypeTuple!( T.init, Init!U ) Init;
 }




template Init(T...)

Doh. I believe this is slightly better, though:

template Init( T... ) {
     enum T Init;
}

:p

What, that's *five* more characters, five! I win, I win!

More seriously, yours might be more 'solid', but isn't enum implicit in this
case?

Anyway, T.init should exist, since "T Init;" works...

Seems you are right. I thought the template would work as a namespace,
giving this situation:

Init!int = 4;
int a = Init!int; // What, 4?!

But such is not the case.

Indeed.
