I am trying to figure out a crispier syntax for templatized open methods. I am stumbling on this (see comments):// dmd -run conflict.d int foo(); struct Foo { static int foo(int x) { return x; } } alias foo = Foo.foo; // overload with an alias - OK int bar(T)(); int bar(T)(T x) { return x; } // overloaded function templates - OK int baz(T)(); struct Baz { static int baz(T)(T x) { return x; } }//alias baz = Baz.baz; // Error: alias conflict.baz conflicts with template conflict.baz(T)() at conflict.d(11)void main() { import std.stdio; writeln(foo(42)); // 42 writeln(bar(666)); // 666 } Why?
I think because one is a function, which is allowed to be overloaded, the other is a symbol.
But clearly, there are some liberties taken when you are overloading function templates, as overloading them works just fine. I think this may have been a patch at some point (you didn't use to be able to overload template functions with normal functions).
It seems like a reasonable request that this code should work. -Steve
