alias bit delegate( in char[] , out uint ) f_type;

class A
{
  f_type    member;
  this( f_type f ) { member = f; }
}


bool myfunct( in char[] txt, out uint len )
{
  return false;
}


void main( char[][] arg )
{
  A var = new A( cast(f_type)myfunct );
  A var = new A( myfunct );
}

Why does this not compile?
The type signatures appear to match.
(it does not work using 'function' in place of delegate above either)

I hope im not overlooking something obvious(thats what I get for programming at home after programming all day at work!)

This is not a bug. There're 2 things here: first, you need to use new A( & myfunct ). Notice the "&". No cast either.

Second, a delegate is a function with an enclosing frame (or something like
that). Anyway, myfunct should be, a) a nested function, or b) a non-static
member function. Either way, your code will work.
To make it work as it is right now, change f_type to be function instead of
delegate, and don't forget the "&".

Thanks Carlos.
