digitalmars.D.learn - How to declare "abstract" delegates list?

Hello!

Is it possible to create a list of slightly different delegates?

For example, there is a class hierarchy:

class Base;
class DerivedOne : Base;
class DerivedTwo : Base;

And there are several delegates:

void delegate(int, Base);
void delegate(int, DerivedOne);
void delegate(int, DerivedTwo);

It's easy to see that the only difference in the declarations of 
these delegates is the type of the second parameter, this is the 
class inherited from Base.

How can I create a list or an array where I can add these 
delegates?

I would do something like this: interface IMyDelegate { } final class MyDelegate(T) : IMyDelegate { private: void delegate(int, T) _d; public: this(void delegate(int, T) d) { _d = d; } void opCall(int x, T y) { _d(x, y); } } ... Below is simple usage demonstration ... private IMyDelegate[] _delegates; void addDelegate(T)(void delegate(int, T) d) { _delegates ~= new MyDelegate!T(d); } auto getDelegate(size_t index) { return cast(MyDelegate!T)_delegates[index]; } ... void func1(int, Base) { ... } void func2(int, DerivedOne) { ... } void func3(int, DerivedTwo) { ... } ... addDelegate(&func1); addDelegate(&func2); addDelegate(&func3); (getDelegate!Base)(100, base); (getDelegate!DerivedOne)(100, derivedOne); (getDelegate!DerivedTwo)(100, derivedTwo); By theory that should work. It's untested, so you might need a few tweaks here and there.

You could also do use alias this to use the delegate instead of the class encapsulating the delegate.
