The problem with UFCS is that I am using variadic parameters. The
logging function isn't designed to accept the first parameter as this.
Then you would need to change it?
It would be much easier to simply have the compiler "insert" it using
__THIS__. Just because it isn't constant isn't really that big of a deal
to the compiler. It could just manually add the parameter at the end of
of the arguments.
Yes, easier for you not having to do anything. It's only the compiler
writers who have to figure out how to add this feature for you :)
I would also have to convert all the calls to this.log.
This becomes problematic because not not all calls are inside objects.
Possibly you can use overloads. In any case, I think there is some work
you need to do to get what you want.
We have __FUNCTION__ so, __THIS__ seems somewhat natural. Null for
outside of objects is fine.
__FUNCTION__ is still a compile-time constant.
Have you considered a mixin or opDispatch to help you out? (untested)
mixin template addLog()
{
log(this This, T...)(T args)
{
return .log(cast(This)this, args);
}
}
class MyBaseObj
{
mixin addLog;
}
class MyObj : MyBaseObj
{
void foo()
{
log(1, 2, 3); // calls .log(cast(MyObj)this, 1, 2, 3)
}
}
