http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=8661 Summary: typeof not an attribute, doesn't work with UFCS Product: D Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: DMD AssignedTo: nobody@puremagic.com ReportedBy: monarchdodra@gmail.com --- Comment #0 from monarchdodra@gmail.com 2012-09-14 05:57:31 PDT --- In the title: Because "typeof" is a keyword,it does not have the same semantics as the other properties (http://dlang.org/property.html), such as stringof, sizeof etc.. For example: -------- void main() { int a; writeln(int.stringof); writeln(a.typeof.stringof); //This writeln(typeof(a).stringof); } -------- The syntax "a.typeof.stringof" should be made to work. UFCS should not have a different behavior because typeof is a keyword. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- |

It's a built-in construct like is-expressions are. Would you want is-expressions to work with UFCS as well? No, I think that this is trying to take UFCS too far. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- |

See my Issue 4272 I think "a.typeof" is a nice syntax to have, similar to "a.sizeof". But this isn't an example of UFCS. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- |

I should have opened it as ER, not Bug. You are right, "nice to have". I searched if it existed before, but did not find your issue.

Posted in reply to Jonathan M Davis | Why is this taking it too far? In the duplicate you also expressed reservations about it without explaining why it's a bad idea. UFCS seems very much like the natural evolution of D's syntax and once (if) that's accepted it should be as consistent and general as possible. |
