onDispatch demo not compiling
I'm trying to compile the onDispatch demo program from "The D Programming Language" (page 387). At first I had an import problem, but I fixed that. Now, however, when I try to call "a.do_something_cool", I get an error message saying: onDispatch.d(43): Error: no property 'do_something_cool' for type 'onDispatch.A' Full program follows (into onDispatch.d): import core.stdc.ctype; import std.stdio; string underscoresToCamelCase(string sym) { string result; result.reserve(sym.length); bool makeUpper; foreach (c; sym) { if (c == '_') { makeUpper = true; } else { if (makeUpper) { result ~= toupper(c); makeUpper = false; } else { result ~= c; } } } return result; } unittest { assert(underscoresToCamelCase("hello_world") == "helloWorld"); assert(underscoresToCamelCase("_a") == "A"); assert(underscoresToCamelCase("abc") == "abc"); assert(underscoresToCamelCase("a_bc_d_") == "aBcD"); } class A { auto onDispatch(string m, Args...)(Args args) { // return mixin("this."~underscoresToCamelCase(m)~"(args)"); } void doSomethingCool(int x, int y) { writeln("Do something cool"); } } unittest { auto a = new A; a.doSomethingCool(5, 6); a.do_something_cool(5, 6); }
