Hello,
I am nesting some function calls, and I'm pretty used to
making use of D's Uniform Function Call Syntax, but I'm
getting an error if I try to convert this line:
createSet(createVector(langSize, index)).length;
which works, into this line:
createVector(langSize, index).createSet.length;
receiving the error "Error: no property createSet for type
int[]", when the signature for createSet is:
static auto createSet(in int[] vector) pure
What am I missing here? I'm sure it's stupidly obvious but it
expects one argument, so I'm just calling it without
parentheses.
Do you try to call member functions? UFCS only works with free
functions, meaning declared at module level.
https://dlang.org/spec/function.html#pseudo-member
I'm not intentionally trying to call member functions, no. The
functions are all static functions of a class, but the chaining
of them using UFCS doesn't seem to work.
