           Summary: ParameterTypeTuple asserts false on parameterless
                    function
           Product: D
           Version: 2.000
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: patch
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P4
         Component: Phobos
        AssignedTo: bugzilla digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: dhasenan gmail.com


ParameterTypeTuple should return an empty TypeTuple for parameterless
functions.

Why would this not cause problems with existing code? Well, assert(false)
always immediately stops compilation. Nobody can possibly use
ParameterTypeTuple on a parameterless function, not even to check if it's void,
unless they mean to do so manually, in which case they might as well crack open
the code in a text editor and check.

However, all the invalid cases, such as:
---
void foo() {}
ParameterTypeTuple!(foo)[0] x;
---

These are still caught at compile time with a relevant warning.

Note that library writers currently have to duplicate the template in order to
provide this basic functionality. Also note that this behavior is undocumented.

 }

Created an attachment (id=149)
 --> (http://d.puremagic.com/issues/attachment.cgi?id=149&action=view)
lets ParameterTypeTuple handle parameterless funcs

Botched the in-text patch (linebreak issue); this should work.

This seems to work fine on parameterless functions.
