import std.socket;

void main()
{
//Socket s = new Socket(AddressFamily.INET,SocketType.STREAM,ProtocolType.TCP);
  Socket s = new Socket(cast(AddressFamily)AddressFamily.INET,SocketType.STREAM,ProtocolType.TCP);
}

Why is the 'cast(AddressFamily)' needed?

W/o the cast:

t.d(5): constructor std.socket.Socket.this () does not match parameter types (int,SocketType,ProtocolType)
t.d(5): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (2) of type int to AddressFamily
t.d(5): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (6) of type ProtocolType to char[]
t.d(5): Error: cannot cast int to char[]

Thanks!

Looks like its a bug in 0.175, I've just needed to add the same casts to my code. It's a compiler issue rather than a lib issue, as the SocketType and ProtocolType are declared as enums in the same way, but don't need the cast.

I run into this issue with other code as well. I think it has to do with different enums used by overloaded functions.

Here's a minimal test-case. I'll formalize it w/ a bug report.

void main()
{
//    foo f = new foo(cast(AddressFamily)AddressFamily.INET);
    foo f = new foo(AddressFamily.INET);
}

class foo
{
    this(AddressFamily f)
    {
    }
}

// from std.c.linux.socket
enum: int
{
        AF_INET =       2
}

// from std.c.linux.socket
struct sockaddr_in
{
        short sin_family = AF_INET;
}

// from std.socket
enum AddressFamily: int
{
        INET =       AF_INET
}
