           Summary: Integrate overloadings for multidimentional indexing
                    and slicing
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: k.hara.pg gmail.com



The following replacement has been proposed by issue 3474.

x[$-2, y[$-6, $-9], $-2]
// is translated to
// x.opIndex(x.opDollar!0 - 2,
//           y.opIndex(y.opDollar!0 - 6, y.opDollar!1 - 9),
//           x.opDollar!2 - 2)

Similarly, I propose the following replacement for the overloading mixture of
indexing and slicing.

x[2..$, $-1, y[$-6, 0..$]]
// is translated to
// x.opIndex(x.opSlice!0(2, x.opDollar!0),
//           x.opDollar!1 - 1,
//           y.opIndex(y.opDollar!0 - 6, y.opSlice!1(0, y.opDollar!1)))

And additionally, I propose to merge slicing into indexing.

x[]
// is translated to
// x.opIndex()

After all, the indexing and slicing getter will be translated to
x.opIndex(...), and the setter will be translated to x.opIndexAssign(value,
...).
And also, opSlice and opSliceAssign would be unnecessary.

So is this:

y[$-6, 0..$:2]


getting translated like this?

y.opIndex(y.opDollar!0 - 6, y.opSlice!1(0, y.opDollar!1, 2))


Strides/steps are sometimes useful in numerics code.

Posted pull request.

(This does not contains stride syntax/overloading.)

There was a discussion thread about the idea of supporting a syntax like:

y[$-6, 0..$:2]

Don:

http://www.digitalmars.com/webnews/newsgroups.php?art_group=digitalmars.D&article_id=146464

And in my opinion one of the last messages in that thread, by Robert Jacques,
seals the topic. I think nice stride syntax will be useful for user-defined
types:

Do you want me to open another enhancement request that asks just for the
stride syntax?
