Small opCall problem

This is a small C++ program that compiles: template struct Foo { Foo(T x) {} template void operator()(U y) {} }; int main() { Foo foo(1); foo(1.5); } I think this is an equivalent D2 program: struct Foo(T) { this(T x) {} void opCall(U)(U y) {} } void main() { auto fo

dynamic type casting in D

Hi, sort of new to D programming, coming from C++. Basically the question is if there is some sort of a way to dynamically cast a variable in D much like you do in C++? ex: interface A {...} class B {...} class C : B {...} class D : B, A {...} function(B something) { A a = dynamic_cast(some

Re: dynamic type casting in D

Awesome! I just tried it out, the cast expression is exactly what I was looking for. I'm currently using Tango and tried out its runtime traits api, this works as expected: if(implements(typeof(something).classinfo, A.classinfo)) Thanks for the info!

I am translating a small C++ program to D2 and I am having problems. I am learning, but my mind is not large enough for all the subtleties of both C++ and D2 yet :-) This C++ program compiles: struct Vec { void operator+(const Vec& other) {} }; Vec bar(Vec x) { return x; } int main() {
