When I try to compile these two functions, the second function is flagged with an already defined error:

bool testRoundTrip(T, U)(T first, U second) if (isIntegral!T && isFloatingPoint!U)
{
    return false;
}
bool testRoundTrip(U, T)(U first, T second) if (isIntegral!T && isFloatingPoint!U)
{
    return false;
}

They look to me to be distinct functions, one with an integral parameter followed by a floating point parameter and the other with a floating point parameter followed by an integral parameter.

At first I thought this was a template problem, but the following code also raises the same error.

bool testRoundTrip(int first, double second)
{
    return false;
}
bool testRoundTrip(double first, int second)
{
    return false;
}

What's the problem?

Cannot reproduce on either 2.065 or git head (according to dpaste).

import std.traits;

bool testRoundTrip(T, U)(T first, U second) if (isIntegral!T && isFloatingPoint!U)
{
    return first == 1;
}
bool testRoundTrip(U, T)(U first, T second) if (isIntegral!T && isFloatingPoint!U)
{
    return second == 2;
}

void main(){
	int x = 1;
	double y = 1.1;
	assert(testRoundTrip(x, y));
	
	x = 2;
	y = 2.2;
	assert(testRoundTrip(y, x));
	
	assert(testRoundTrip(1, 1.1));
	assert(testRoundTrip(2.2, 2));
}

You are right. I had the functions in a unittest block that got executed more than once so the second execution was a redefinition. Thanks for taking the time to check.
