digitalmars.D - Implicit fn template instantiation

Can someone explain why I can't instantiate this template implicitly andor
comment on whether I'm overlooking a better way to accomplish what this template
does?

template increment(T, K)
{
void increment(T[K] association, K key)
{
if(key in association)
{
association[key]++;
}
else
{
association[key] = 1;
}
}
}

Thanks,

Mostly because ITI is still incomplete. Anything beyond strict type replacement doesn't really work. Sean

IIRC if(T* val = (key in association)) (*val)++; else association[key]=1; haven't tried it but it should work

Yes. A full working version with the current limited IFTI would look like: template increment(T,K) { static assert(is(K : typeof(T.init.keys[0]))); void increment(inout T association, K key) { if(auto val = (key in association)) (*val)++; else association[key]=1; } } /Oskar
