Is array sort suppose to work for an
array of object?
the prog included outputs:

foreach sort b
foreach sort a
foreach sort z
for sort b
for sort a
for sort z

the wc.d example works for 
int[char[]] dictionary;
... dictionary.keys.sort ...

Ant



import std.string;

class S
{
	char[] name;
	this(char[] name)
	{
		this.name = name;
	}
	
	int cmp(S s)
	{
		// this is never executed
		printf("std.string.cmp(%.*s, %.*s) = %d\n",
			name, s.name,
			std.string.cmp(name, s.name)
			);
		return std.string.cmp(name, s.name);
	}
}

void main()
{
	S[] as;
	as ~= new S("z");
	as ~= new S("a");
	as ~= new S("b");
	
	// I thought this would work...
	foreach(S s ; as.sort)
	{
		printf("foreach sort %.*s\n",s.name);
	}
	
	// or at least this...
	S[] bs = as.dup.sort;
	for ( int i = 0 ; i<bs.length; i++)
	{
		printf("for sort %.*s\n",bs[i].name);
	}
}

The function is now opCmp.

Thank you.
(I beg your forgiveness. I simple look
into object.d would have shown it)

now int opCmp(S s)

still doesn't work

I have to do:

int opCmp(Object s)
{
	return std.string.cmp(name, (cast(S)s).name);
}
	

doesn't seem right.

What I do is make two:

int opCmp(RealObject ro)
{
    return comparison;
}

override int opCmp(Object o)
{
    RealObject ro = cast(RealObject)o;
    if(!ro) // not correct type
        return -1;
    return opCmp(ro); // normal comparison
}

Plus two for opEquals...
Not sure if this is a good way.

I guess that's the way to do it.
