Hi,

i tried this with my interface template and it doesn't compile/work :

interface XYZ(T) {
..
public void foo(XYZ!(T) bar);
..
}

how can i achieve the desired effect ?

thnx Philipp

Walter, what is the global purpose of recent beautifications?
I am speaking about regexps, if(;) and on_scope_exit() & co.

What is the major goal of current D development (big picture)?

For me these changes seems like sporadic efforts to attach
bells and whistles. They double stuff what is already in language and
yet increase entropy of D grammar significantly.

So sorry but I would like to get an idea of directions D is moving.

Thanks in advance,

Andrew.

Can you post more code, my attempt at replicating the problem seems to work:

import std.stdio;

interface XYZ(T) {
	public void foo(XYZ!(T) bar);
}

class A : XYZ!(int) {
	public void foo(XYZ!(int) bar) {
		writef("a");
	}
}

void main() {
	A a = new A();
	XYZ!(int) b;
	a.foo(b);
}

problem solved - my version of the compiler was too old.

I think this recent push might be that Walter wants some neat, new for D, features to present at his shindig this year. I could be wrong though.
