Hello,

Is there a way to do this :

/* ------------------------------------- */
class A(T)
{
  // some methods
}

class B
{
  T getValue( A(T) a )  // <-- Here, the type of the return value 
                        //     is the type T of A(T)
  {  /* some code */  }
}
/* ------------------------------------- */


thanks in advance,

If I understand you correctly, this can be done like so:

class A(T)
{
}

class B
{
	T getValue(U : A!(T), T)(U a)
	{
	 // some code
	}
}
