Compiler gets confused with ambiguity when `int` matches both `real` and `float`.
The following expression: import std.math : sqrt; sqrt(400); produces the following compiler error: std.math.sqrt called with argument types (int) matches both: /usr/include/dmd/phobos/std/math.d(1592,7): std.math.sqrt(float x) and: /usr/include/dmd/phobos/std/math.d(1598,6): std.math.sqrt(real x) Shouldn't it just pick one according to some defined rules?

Something like baseEnumList.CoolStdFunc!( a=> Factory(a)

so basically it becomes:
Base[] baseList = baseEnumList.map!(el => Factory(el));
there's also a parallel version of map [0] if you ever need to

Converting member variables to strings with using reflection from base class
I want to make a logging function for member variables by using
reflection.
import std.stdio;
class D : B
{
override void foo() {
a = 4.0;
b = 3.0;
}
double a;
double b;
}
class B
{
void Log()

foreach(memberName; a) {
// Somehow write only member variables with their

// Result should be : a = 4.0, b = 3.0
}
}
void foo()
{
}
}
void main()
{
auto b = new D;
b.Log();
}
As I wrote in the comments I want to see member variable's name
and its value.
What is the best way to achieve that?

That can't work because there is no S object to call doSomething on. One
way is to use a delegate:
struct S {
string doSomething(int n) { return ""; }
}
void main() {
S s;
auto d = (int n) { s.doSomething(n); };
d(3);
}

@property MemSize end() const { return cast(int)(start+length); }
The rule of int promotion of smaller types comes from C as they
said. There are 2 reason to do it that way. int is supposed in C
to be the natural arithmetic type of the CPU it runs on, i.e. the
default size the processor has the least difficulties to handle.
The second reason is that it allows to detect easily without much
hassle if the result of the operation is in range or not. When
doing arithmetic with small integer types, it is easy that the
result overflows. It is not that easy to define portably this
overflow behaviour. On some cpus it would require extra
instructions. D has inherited this behaviour so that copied
arithmetic code coming from C behaves in the same way.
@property MemSize end() const
{
MemSize result = start+length;
assert(result <= MemSize.max);
return cast(int)result;
}
with overflow arithmetic this code is not possible (as is if
MemSize was uint or ulong).
