           Summary: Elaborate restricted variadic function does not
                    compile
           Product: D
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla@digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: andrei@metalanguage.com


I suspect there are multiple reasons for which the code below does not compile. It should, however, compile and run properly:

auto max(T...)(T a)
      if (T.length == 2
         && is(typeof(a[1] > a[0] ? a[1] : a[0]))
       || T.length > 2
         && is(typeof(max(max(a[0], a[1]), a[2 .. $])))) {
   static if (T.length == 2) {
      return a[1] > a[0] ? a[1] : a[0];
   } else {
      return max(max(a[0], a[1]), a[2 .. $]);
   }
}

void main() {
    assert(max(4, 5) == 5);
    assert(max(3, 4, 5) == 5);
}

This is failing because 'a' isn't available while in the constraint.

Exactly. The idea is that making the parameter names available would simplify writing template constraints a lot.
