I was under the impression that alias this just was shorthand for Class Foo { int x; alias x this; } Foo foo = new Foo foo = 9; // foo.x = 9 Foo Foo = 9 // null.x =9;
Not just. this would also work: int n = foo; // void bar( int n ) {} bar( foo );
Also, for opCast, doesnt that only work for going from Foo to int and not the other way around?
Indeed. For implicit casts to Foo, I don't know what, if anything, works. void baz( Foo f ) {} baz( 3 ); // How? Likely, there is no such functionality in D, at least for the moment. -- Simen
