October 18, 2012 Extending library functions | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
Hi. I want to extend math library functions to work with my own type. However, the definition for my own type seems to prevent automated access to the original function. How can I fix this unexpected behavior? Simplified example: -------------------- import std.math; int exp2(int x) { return 1 >> x; } void main() { assert(exp2(0.0) == 1.0); // <= why does not this work anymore? //assert(std.math.exp2(0.0) == 1.0); // <= this works } -------------------- |

Thanks, that clarifies quite a lot. Unfortunately my example was too simplified, as my type is a template.
This still does not work:
--------------------
import std.math;
struct Lognum(T) {
T lx;
}
T log(T)(Lognum!T x) {
return x.lx;
}
alias std.math.log log;
void main() {
//assert(std.math.log(1.0) == 0.0);
assert(log(1.0) == 0.0);
Lognum!double x;
x.lx = 0.0;
assert(log(x) == 0.0);
}
--------------------

I don't think you can overload template methods with non-template methods:
void f(string i) {}
void f(T)(T i) if (is(T == double)) {}
void main(string[] args) {
f(2.2);
}
Error: template ol.f(T) if (is(T == double)) conflicts with function ol.f at ol.d(1)

That's too bad. But why then does this work:
--------------------
module a;
void f(string i) {}
--------------------
module b;
void f(T)(T i) if (is(T == double)) {}
--------------------
import a;
import b;
void main(string[] args) {
f("asdf");
f(2.2);
}
--------------------

But maybe this will change.

The usual workaround for this is to make the non-template method a dummy template: void foo () (int a) {} // Note the extra pair of empty parentheses But this won't work if you're not controlling the non-template method. -- /Jacob Carlborg |

It's bug (I forget the exact bug number). TDPL says that you can do it, and as I understand it, it's simply a question of when someone is going to fix it (though I have no idea how easy it will be to fix it) and not a question of whether it'll change or not.
