The error message is saying that you are trying to use Foo as a type but Foo is not a type, it is a template for a type.
Hi!
This doesn't work:
import std.stdio;
class Foo(T)
{
T t;
this(T val)
{
t = val;
}
}
void main()
{
auto o = new Foo(5);
}
_____
$ dmd foo
foo.d(13): Error: class foo.Foo(T) is used as a type
$ _
So I must
auto o = new Foo!(int)(5);
Then it compiles. Is it possible to have this() figure out the type some way? (In this particular example it's perhaps not such a big deal. But imagine a lot more args.)
(Side note: What _does_ that error message mean? I don't get it.)
thanks
