Hi,
I have the following code:
auto appendMapped(alias f, R, T)(R r, T elem) {
r ~= f(elem);
return r;
}
int minus(int i) {
return -i;
}
unittest {
int[] ar;
// here I do partial application of minus function
alias appendMinus(S,T) = appendMapped!(minus, S, T);
assert (appendMinus!(int[], int)(ar, 10) == [-10]); //
compiles
assert (appendMinus(ar, 10) == [-10]); // doesn't compile
}
Which gives me following error:
Error: template transduced.__unittestL111_2.appendMinus cannot
deduce
function from argument types !()(int[], int), candidates are:
transduced.__unittestL111_2.appendMinus(S, T)
Is there a way to do partial template arg application which
does
template type deduction correctly?
I don't know whether it's possible with 'alias' but the
following trivial wrapper works:
auto appendMinus(S,T)(S s, T t) {
return appendMapped!minus(s, t);
}
Ali
I think I've reduced my case too much: the wrapper needs to be
generic so that I can do something like this (basically a closure
but compile time)
void wrapper(minus) {
alias appendMinus(S,T) = appendMapped!(minus, S, T);
assert (appendMinus(ar, 10) == [-10]);
}
Anyway, thanks for help Ali, love your book:)
