           Summary: Qualifier-only casts should not invoke opCast
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: wrong-code
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: k.hara.pg gmail.com



This is a spin-off issue from bug 5747.

D has a cast syntax for modifying just only the type qualifier of the operand.

http://dlang.org/expression#CastExpression

CastExpression:
    cast ( Type ) UnaryExpression
    cast ( CastQual ) UnaryExpression   <--
    cast ( ) UnaryExpression            <--

However, if the operand is class or struct, and has opCast member function, the
qualifier-cast cast(qual)exp is translated to cast(qual(typeof(exp))exp, then
it will unintendedly invoke opCast. For example, following code wrongly asserts
in C.opCast.

class C
{
    T opCast(T)() { assert(0); }
}
void main()
{
    C c = new C();
    shared C sc = cast(shared)c;
}

I think this is not good behavior in generic code, and should be fixed.

I find the existing behavior reasonable enough, provided it is
cast(qual(unqual(typeof(exp)))exp instead of cast(qual(typeof(exp))exp.

I disagree. That was not necessary, unless you prove otherwise.

Kenji: I'm wondering: Your original post seemed to imply the enhancement was *only* for qualifier cast. However, the final result seems to be for *any* kind of cast, whith matching types. I mean: const(S) s; auto a = cast() s; auto b = cast(S) s; In the case of "a": We have a "CastQual" type cast, and this bypasses the opCast operator entirelly. In the case of "b": We have a *Type* cast, but that happens to result only in a qualifier change. In the case of "b", *should* we call opCast? Please clarify. -- Configure issuemail: https://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------

Yes. And actually, with git-head, following code asserts only in the case of "b". struct S { T opCast(T)() const { assert(0); } } void main() { const(S) s; auto a = cast() s; // bypass opCast auto b = cast(S) s; // call opCast and assert } -- Configure issuemail: https://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------

Ah. Oops. I was testing the wrong code. Thanks. -- Configure issuemail: https://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
