import std.stdio;
import core.sys.windows.windows;

int main(string[] argv)
{
	HGDIOBJ h;

	// Compile error:
	// Error	1	Error: main.foo called with argument types (void*) matches both:	D:\Projetos-D\ConsoleApp1\main.d	12
	// Error	2	main.foo(void* h)	D:\Projetos-D\ConsoleApp1\main.d	17
	// Error	3	main.foo(void* h)	D:\Projetos-D\ConsoleApp1\main.d	21
	foo(h);

    return 0;
}

void foo(HGDIOBJ h)
{
}

void foo(HACCEL h)
{
}



I want my 2 overloaded 'foo' functions to be able to differentiate when the passed parameter is a HGDIOBJ or a HACCEL...but it doesn't compile (error in the code above)

The problem lies in how I am declaring those 2 types cause they are aliases for the same base type: 'void*'

dont't know how to solve it! thks for helping

Take a look at it. Docs is scarce (pretty sure you will need to take a look around to find something) but it should just do what you need.

The prerelease docs contain more information:
