March 30, 2013 how to define opCast outside class | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
version(good) works.
version(bad) does not.
Can we make std.conv.to work for out-of-class opCast?
Use case: same reason as UFCS, where we don't wanna define all methods
inside class def, leading to possible extensions later.
Currently this IS a problem when class A is in a library over which we
have no control and a user defined class B wants to cast from A.
----
import std.conv;
struct B{ int x;}
struct A{
int x;
version(good)
auto opCast(T)() {return B(x);}
}
version(bad)
auto opCast(T)(A a) {return B(a.x);}
void main(){ auto b=to!B(A.init); }

Posted in reply to Timothee Cour | This was discussed many times, even recently enhancement request was created in bugzilla. Try to search in archives (in briefly - no, it is a bad idea, which has opposition, me included). | |||
