if I have a member function alias and corresponding object and
arguments, is there any way to turn them into a member function call?
e.g.
class X{
void a();
}
auto profit(alias fn, T, Args...)(T t, Args args) {
???
}
profit!(X.fn, X)(x);
Constraints are:
1) must conserve ability to omit default arguments
2) if x is a subclass of X which overrides a, must not call overriden a.
I have mutually exclusive solutions for (1) and (2).
.. wait, nevermind. I can probably just wrap the two. It's an
interesting problem, though, so I guess I'll post it.
For 1) just parse out the parameter list from typeof(&fn).stringof and
mix it in as profit's arg list, and then just mixin x.a(paramids), but
that won't counter D's virtual functions
For 2) hack together a delegate
dg.ptr = x;
dg.func_ptr = &fn;
but delegates don't support default arguments.
