Posted in reply to Kyle Foley | http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=7529 --- Comment #10 from timon.gehr@gmx.ch 2012-02-17 07:20:59 PST --- If you think it is invalid you misunderstand the issue. This is about extending IFTI so that it can match templated aliases. template Alias(T){ alias Foo!T Alias;} void foo(T)(Alias!T x){ pragma(msg, T); } foo(Foo!int); // prints 'int' What effectively would need to be done at the compiler side: - If a template parameter type is a template, check whether it is an eponymous alias template (like template Alias(T){ alias Foo!T Alias; } - If so, expand the template without knowing the type it is instantiated with void foo(T)(Alias!T x){ ... } => void foo(T)(Foo!T x){ ... } This is always a valid transformation for eponymous alias templates. This does not introduce any dependencies across parameters. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- |

'void foo(T)(Wrap!T val)' would always be equal to 'void foo(T)(T val)' -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- |

Those are all alias templates: template A(T){alias T A;} template B(T){alias Foo!T B;} template C(T){alias foo.bar.Qux!T C;} template D(T){alias Foo!(Bar!(Qux!T)) D;} Those are functions that use them: void fooa(T)(A!T a){ ... } void foob(T)(B!T b){ ... } void fooc(T)(C!T c){ ... } void food(T)(D!T d){ ... } Those are the versions that do exactly the same thing but work with IFTI: void fooa(T)(T a){ ... } void foob(T)(Foo!T b){ ... } void fooc(T)(foo.bar.Qux!T c){ ... } void food(T)(Foo!(Bar!(Qux!T)) d){ ... } What I am asking for is for IFTI to work the same for the former and latter versions of the functions. This is easy to implement and matches what most programmers would expect the language to be capable of. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- |

Most of those cases can be handled by aliasing the template declaration rather than the instance. alias Foo Alias; void foo(T)(Alias!T x){ pragma(msg, T); } foo(Foo!int.init); Which wouldn't work for recursion. template D(T){alias Foo!(Bar!(Qux!T)) D;} It seems to me that what you want is an AST macro not a template expansion. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- |

This is easy to implement and matches what most programmers would expect the language to be capable of. OK, I almost understand what you expects. When the two declarations exist, > template B(T){alias Foo!T B;} > void foob(T)(B!T b){ ... } and calling foob with IFTI like follows: Foo!int x; foob(x); // foob(T)(B!T) is converted to foob(T)(Foo!T) // *with expanding template B*, then foob deduces T as int. OK? ----- There is some problems about this enhancement. 1) This enhancement requires adding a phase to expanding eponymous templates used as function parameter type. This makes IFTI process more complicate. 2) Some eponymous templates are not one liner. template X(T) { template Y(U) { ... } // massive type calculation alias Y!T X; // also eponymous template } void foo(T)(X!T) { ... } Should compiler calculate T from X!T? It is almost impossible! If it only works with one-linear eponymous template, it is less benefit than the semantic complexity. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- |

No it does not. With IFTI and structs you recursively match template arguments. Foo!(Bar!(Baz!T))) Foo!(Bar!(Baz!int))) With the alias you need to instantiate the template, probably using a bottom type and then do the above. Foo!(Bar!(Baz!(T))) => Result!T Result!int -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- |
