D - template alias and instances

Mike Wynn (14/14) Aug 02 2003 Walter,

Walter (4/18) Aug 06 2003 They're the same.

Mike Wynn (98/107) Aug 07 2003 I thought I posted it .....

Walter,

if I have the code
template foo( T ) { class bar {.... } }

is there a difference in the way the compiler treats things if I do the
following in a module
alias instance foo(int) foo_int1;
instance foo(int) foo_int2;

are foo_int1 and foo_int2 effectivly the same, or are there reasons to use
one or the other

alias foo_int1.bar bar_int1;
alias foo_int2.bar bar_int2;
alias instance foo(int).bar bar_int3;

would is make a difference which "bar_int" I used here ?
class test : bar_int? { ... }

 Walter,

 following in a module
 alias instance foo(int) foo_int1;
 instance foo(int) foo_int2;

 are foo_int1 and foo_int2 effectivly the same, or are there reasons to


use
 one or the other

 They're the same.

 alias foo_int1.bar bar_int1;
 alias foo_int2.bar bar_int2;
 alias instance foo(int).bar bar_int3;

 would is make a difference which "bar_int" I used here ?
 class test : bar_int? { ... }

 They're all the same.

that explains why my missing instances from objects example fails even when
I declare instances all over the place rather than aliases.

is there a way to force the creation within an object file of an instance of
a template with given params (I assume the linker would be smart enought to
only link the onces needed ? or is there a way to create an object file that
is just a ast of the file :) recompiled at link times so templates that are
needed get created ?

Not really. It should generate the instance again, and then the linker
should factor out the duplicates. Something else is going wrong for you. If
you could make a small example of an instance that is not being generated, I
can have a look.
