(D 2.033) I have a need to do something like this code:
interface I {}
class C : I {}
class D : I {}
void f(I[]) {}
void f(bool) {}
void g(T)(T param) {
f(param);
}
int main()
{
bool b;
C[] c;
D[] d;
g(b);
g(c);
g(d);
return 0;
}
This results in the output:
temp.d(9): Error: function temp.f (I[] _param_0) is not callable using
argument types (C[])
temp.d(9): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (param) of type C[]
to bool
temp.d(18): Error: template instance temp.g!(C[]) error instantiating
As you can see, I can't cast C[] to I[] when I call f because T can be
bool too. My workaround for now is:
interface I {}
class C : I {}
class D : I {}
void f(I[]) {}
void f(C[] param) {
f(cast(I[])param);
}
void f(D[] param) {
f(cast(I[])param);
}
void f(bool) {}
void g(T)(T param) {
f(param);
}
int main()
{
bool b;
C[] c;
D[] d;
g(b);
g(c);
g(d);
return 0;
}
Is there a better way to deal with this? Is this behavior a design bug?
