April 20, 2012 primitive type operator overload | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
Hello, I want to overload a primitive type operator so that I can do something like double a; myStruct b; writeln(a + b); but have no idea how to do it. Something similar(?) is already implemented in the language, i.e. double x; double[] y; writeln(x + y); but after searching the dmd2/src, what I found didn't offer any help. -Dominic Jones |

UFCS only kicks in if no matching method is found for the given type. So UFCS can be used to provide "default" implementations for when an operator is not defined for a given type, but the operator defined by the type takes precedence over UFCS.
