SO Question:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6184422/ambiguous-struct-constructors-in-d
Source example: http://www.pastie.org/1997238
Actual Output: 5,3 2,8 2,10
Expected Output: 2,10 2,8 2,10

If the above doesn't provide all the information, then I'll summarize:

Statically constructed structs are defaulting to the parameter list initialization instead of using a constructor.

I'm to assume this is a bug, and possibly a flaw in ambiguity, at least a warning should be displayed.

And, it should be consistent between statically defined and locally defined structs?

A similar bug, but for enums, is reported in issue 5460.

Please, don't link code that's in external paste sites, because their pages are often ephemeral. The code, with small changes:


import core.stdc.stdio: printf;

struct Foo {
    int a = 2;
    int b = 3;

    this(int c) {
        a = c / 2;
        b = c * 2;
    }

    this(float c) {
        a = cast(int) c / 2;
        b = cast(int) c * 2;
    }

    static Foo F1 = Foo(4.3);
    static Foo F2 = Foo(5);
}

void main() {
    printf("%d %d\n", Foo.F1.a, Foo.F1.b); // 2 8
    printf("%d %d\n", Foo.F2.a, Foo.F2.b); // 5 3

    Foo F3 = Foo(5);
    printf("%d %d\n", F3.a, F3.b); // 2 10
}
