Hey everyone, I'm new to D so bare with me please. I've been trying to
figure out what's up with the strange forward refernce errors the
compiler (DMD 2.060) is giving me. Here's a code snippet that's
generating a forward reference error:
public class AliasTestClass(alias func)
{
static assert(__traits(isStaticFunction, func));
}
public class TestClass
{
private AliasTestClass!(randomFunction) test; // <-----
public static void randomFunction()
{
}
}
The strange part about it is that if I surround the randomFunction
parameter with another pair of paranthesis like so
private AliasTestClass!((randomFunction)) test;
It works just fine. If I don't, however, I get a forward reference error:
"Error: template instance main.AliasTestClass!(randomFunction) forward
reference of randomFunction"
Am I doing anything wrong or is this some kind of bug?
It's a bug. Maybe it's already in Bugzilla (there are some forward-ref
bugs there already). Please file:
