           Summary: Unfair function address overload resolution
           Product: D
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: nobody@puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: timon.gehr@gmx.ch


--- Comment #0 from timon.gehr@gmx.ch 2012-01-01 17:25:50 PST ---
Tested with DMD 2.057

auto foo(int x){return x;}
auto foo(double x){return x;}

void main() {
    auto x = (&foo)(1);   // ok
    auto y = (&foo)(1.0); // fail
}

Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (1) of type double to int

The code should either compile, or both lines should fail.

AddrExp that is yet not bounded into an variable should keep unresolved
overload information.
So the both lines should compile.

This is strange - issue 52 is marked as fixed, so why does it still EVER pick the wrong instance?

Where does the spec address the meaning of &foo if there's more than one function called foo in scope?

This problem is only when the caller of CallExp is AddrExp (== &foo). bug 51 is the problems on initializer and rhs of AssignExp.

In this case, CallExp can pick the original overload of foo in static.
Therefore compiler should translate from (&foo)(arguments...) to
foo(arguments...).
Finally, the overload should be resolved.

If the compiler rewrites (&foo)(arguments...) to foo(arguments...), is it now
able to inline delegates that are called directly like for example {x++;}() ?

Sorry, I'm not sure the meaning of 'inline'.
If you means 'optimizing', I don't know direct called delegate would be inlined
or not...
