https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14095 Issue ID: 14095 Summary: explicitly exclude symbol from resolution consideration Product: D Version: D1 & D2 Hardware: x86_64 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: DMD Assignee: nobody@puremagic.com Reporter: vlevenfeld@gmail.com There needs to be a mechanism for specifically excluding a particular symbol from resolution in a given scope. I've been struggling for months to chase std.array.array out of my codebase: I use a custom multidimensional array and, somehow, when I call .array on anything, std.array takes the call and subsequently fails to compile. My custom array isn't attempted, and no symbol conflict error is issued by the compiler. Sometimes .array will correctly route to my array, but its a coin toss. I suspect this has something to do with the longstanding import visibility bug, and I've been led to understand that fixing it is a massive and tricky undertaking, so until its solved, something like pragma (excludeSymbol, std.array.array); would be immensely helpful, if only as a stopgap measure. -- |
