Greetings

I am facing problem passing a shared class method as an argument to a
function. Look at the following minimized code snippet.

class Foo {
  shared // compiles when commented out
    void bar() {}
}

void frop(void delegate() dg) {
}

void main() {
  shared Foo foo = new shared(Foo);
  frop(&foo.bar);
}

I get the following errors (using dmd 2.052)
dg.d(11): Error: function dg.frop (void delegate() dg) is not callable using
argument types (void delegate() shared)
dg.d(11): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (&foo.bar) of type
void delegate() shared to void delegate()

Please suggest a valid signature for the function frop, so that it can take
shared delegates.

I've copy and pasted my reply to Benjamin below, you should be able to 
adapt it to your needs:

The only way I've found to do this that works is using an alias - this 
is probably worth a bug report if there isn't one already.
----
class A
{
     // Note that you get forward reference errors if you opt to
     // infer the return type here. That's also a bug.
     void method(const const(char[]) str) shared
     {
     }
}

alias typeof(&A.method) shdg;

void foo(shdg foo)
{
}

void main()
{
     foo(&A.method);
}

Stupid me. Should have checked the list before posting.

I checked and found that this is already reported
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=shared+delegate

And since Walter says that const issues are high on his priority list, I
hope this would get resolved soon.
