Summary: Cannot implement interface methods by alias Product: D Version: 1.039 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: DMD AssignedTo: bugzi...@digitalmars.com ReportedBy: dhase...@gmail.com interface IFoo { void foo(); } class Foo : IFoo { void bar() {} alias bar foo; } // class iface_alias.Foo interface function IFoo.foo isn't implemented This is a problem for me because I want to implement methods with a template, but my choices for that template are a string mixin or a template mixin, and with a template mixin, I have to alias the template to the desired method. String mixins don't work for this; for example, if the return type is a templated class, string mixins will fail (see #1748). Or if the return type is a public alias to a private type. I'm not aware of a workaround for this (anything that requires manual coding aside from the template is not a valid workaround). --
