           Summary: Pattern matching in static if not working with variadic
                    arguments
           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


struct A(B...) {}

void main()
{
    alias A!(int, float) X;
    static if (!is(X Y == A!(Z), Z))
    {
        static assert(false);
    }
}

This example fails the static assert. If one removes the float in the instantiation of A the example compiles.

The compiler should match Z to the type tuple (int, float). Otherwise it is impossible to detect whether a type is an instantiation of a variadic template.

The is expression needs to be written as:

    static if (!is(X Y == A!(Z), Z...))

with the addition of the ... to indicate that Z is a tuple parameter. It still won't compile right, though, so I'll fix it.

BTW, this is the sort of thing that my "ASCII version of APL" was referring to. There is no 'intuitive' way to make any sense of that code phrase. I can't even workout how to say it out loud, as in translate it into English.
