Such parsing ambiguities are why C style casts are deprecated <g>. (It is parsed as (i)(+j), i.e. the + is seen as the unary plus operator.)

Does this mean the we can never have the construct ... '(' <identifier> ')' <operand> <expression> in D? -- Derek Melbourne, Australia 27/Jul/04 11:33:09 AM

You will once I take out C style casts completely. But unlike C, you never need to enclose an identifier in redundant parens, so it isn't a problem. (It's needed in C because of macro arguments.)

I personally don't see much difficulty in trying to parse it as an AddExpression first ... but yes, getting rid of C casts is the way to go.

Consider (identifier). Is identifier a type, or a variable? The parser doesn't know, as it does not do semantic analysis.

For completeness. It should be overloadable, though.

Cool. What would you call it though? opDoNothing()? opTrivial()? Jill :)

Just a feeling... UnaryAdd feels a bit "technical" for me. Since +5 is positive 5, and -5 is negative 5, what do you think of: opPositive for unary add opNegative for unary subtract James McComb

Well, actually, we'd still have the problem with unary minus. This problem will go away in time, once C-style casts change from "deprecated" to "illegal". (But I'd still like to know what unary plus is for, given that we can't overload it to do anything useful). Jill

completeness! I can write: real x = +sin(angle)*W+cos(angle)*H; real y = -sin(angle)*W-cos(angle)*H; or something like that that makes sence. Now the first + makes the difference between x and y much clearer.
