           Summary: Implicit function template match doesn't work for
                    classes
           Product: D
           Version: 0.177
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla@digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: wbaxter@gmail.com


IFTI works fine for structs in the case below, but doesn't work for classes. Here's the code:

-----
// With DMD 0.177
// Error:
// template xxx.bar_class(T) does not match any template declaration
// template xxx.bar_class(T) cannot deduce template function from argument
//         types (FooClass,FooClass)

class FooClass(T) {  T data; }

struct FooStruct(T) {  T data;  }

void bar_struct(T)(FooStruct!(T) a) {}

void bar_class(T)(FooClass!(T) a) {}

void main()
{
    auto C = new FooClass!(double);
    FooStruct!(double) S;

    bar_struct(S);  // works
    bar_class!(double)(C);  // works
    bar_class(C);   // does not work
}

Here's another manifestation of what is probably the same bug:
  is(Type id:specialization) doesn't work for classes either.

Here's the previous example with the is test added too:


----------
class FooClass(T) {  T data; }

struct FooStruct(T) {  T data;  }

void bar_struct(T)(FooStruct!(T) a) {}

void bar_class(T)(FooClass!(T) a) {}

template base_type(S) {
    static if ( is(S T : FooStruct!(T)) ) {
        alias T base_type;
    }
    else static if ( is(S T : FooClass!(T)) ) {
        alias T base_type;
    }
    else {
        static assert(0, "Unknown type");
    }
}

void main()
{

    auto C = new FooClass!(double);
    FooStruct!(double) S;

    bar_struct(S);  // works
    bar_class!(double)(C);  // works
    bar_class(C);   // does not work

    alias base_type!(FooStruct!(double)) sbase;//good
    alias base_type!(FooClass!(double)) cbase;//no good
}
