Is it possible to get all overloads of an operator for a
particular type?
I.e., having this struct definition, is it possible to tell at
compile time that it can be added with double and int[]?
struct S
{
void opBinary(string op : "+")(double);
void opBinary(string op : "+")(int[]);
}
To clarify, I am well aware that it can also be overloaded
through the second argument via opBinaryRight, but for now I'm
only interested in overloads provided by S itself.
I've tried __traits(getOverloads), but with no success:
__traits(getOverloads, S, "opBinary") returns empty tuple,
and __traits(getOverloads, S, `opBinary!"+"`) results in a
compilation
error (dmd 2.065):
Error: no property 'opBinary!"+"' for type 'S'
Error: (S).opBinary!"+" cannot be resolved
I can't answer the question about inspecting the overloads, but
if you just want to know whether it supports addition, the
idiomatic way is to test whether it compiles:
enum supportsAddition(S) = is(typeof(S.init + 0.0));
static if(supportsAddition!MyType) { ... }
