December 30, 2010 Template matching and is expression | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
Hello, I'm using D2.051 and following code: import std.variant; template Nullable(T) { alias Algebraic!(T, void*) Nullable; } template isNullable(T) { static if (is(T X == Nullable!U, U)) enum isNullable = true; else enum isNullable = false; } static assert(isNullable!(Nullable!int)); and above static assert fails. Neither this works: template isNullable(T : Nullable!U, U) { enum isNullable = true; } template isNullable(T) { enum isNullable = false; } static assert(isNullable!(Nullable!int)); Question is, what I'm doing wrong? |

The problem here is that Nullable!T is not a real type. Hence, Nullable!int is actually Algebraic!(int,void*). Checking for that apparently does not work as simply as one might hope. So, instead you should create a wrapper. This works: struct Nullable(T) { Algebraic!(T, void*) Nullable; alias Nullable this; } template isNullable(T) { static if (is(T X == Nullable!(U), U)) enum isNullable = true; else enum isNullable = false; } static assert(isNullable!(Nullable!int)); -- Simen |

Algebraic is also an alias for VariantN (which is real type): template Algebraic(T...) { alias VariantN!(maxSize!(T), T) Algebraic; } however this check also yields false: static if (is(T X == VariantN!(U), U...)) but this works: static if (is(T == Nullable!int)) so, I was a bit confused... So, instead you should create a wrapper. This works: > > > struct Nullable(T) { > Algebraic!(T, void*) Nullable; > alias Nullable this; > } > > template isNullable(T) { > static if (is(T X == Nullable!(U), U)) > enum isNullable = true; > else > enum isNullable = false; > } > > static assert(isNullable!(Nullable!int)); > Thanks! I've already used wrappers like that, but I though it's possible to match aliases directly. regards, Piotr |
