Hi all,

First post - I'm learning D, 10yrs exp. with C++.

While trying to generate a static table of functions using lambdas compile time using mixins, I ran in to this little (for me) conundrum.

Given that we have this function available:
static void foo(){
    writefln("Hohum");
}

This compiles:
void function()[] funcext = [&foo];

Whereas this does not:
void function()[] funcext2 = [function(){foo();}];

Why? What are the technicalities that prevent me from setting up a lambda during compile-time? It seems to me that the compiler should be able to figure this out.

Any insights appreciated. :)

Cheers,

Thanks,

Is there a related/same reason why this don't compile?

unittest {
  static void stuff(){}
  static void function()[string] functions = [ "stuff":&stuff ];
}

That compiles for me.

Ok - Compiler version/os? I'm on MacOS, compiler outputs the following: DMD32 D Compiler v2.054

Doh, never mind.
Sorry for wasting your time.
