pls see example code below.
the two 'test' templates work fine by themselves. if, however, in the same
module, the eponymous template does not work anymore. instead the compiler
seems to try instantiating the variadic template.
a) why? for how i understand it, this should not happen as
o they have very different signatures, i.e. completely incompatible argument lists
( zero vs >1 arguments)
o the string parameter is more specialized than the take-all tuple
b) how can i make it work?
cheers,

CODE:
=====
import std.stdio;
// cannot be used with function arguments
template test(string str ){
enum test = "template 'test' used with "~str;
}
// cannot be called with less than 2 function arguments
string test (T ...)( T strs )
if( 1<strs.length )
{
return "templated function 'test' called with "~strs[0]~" and "~strs[1];
}
// enum epo = test!"one"; // use eponymous template
// if commented in:
// Error: tuple T is used as a type
// in line 9 = string test (T ...)( T strs )
enum vari = test("two", "three"); // use templated/variadic function
void main(string[] args)
{
// writeln( epo );
writeln( vari );
}
Looks like a bug to me.
i thought so too
By the way, the variadic template is eponymous, too: The template
declares a function with the same name.
right
