           Summary: Can't easily assign one Nullable to another
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: All

Example:

import std.typecons;

void main() {
    Nullable!int a, b;
    a = b; // what seems to happen is a.opAssign(b.get) => enforcement fails
}

The workaround is simple but ugly: if (b.isNull) a.nullify(); else a = b;

Adding an opAssign overload to Nullable is maybe enough:


/**
Assigns $(D value) to the internally-held state. If the assignment
succeeds, $(D this) becomes non-null.
 */
    void opAssign()(T value)
    {
        _value = value;
        _isNull = false;
    }

/// ditto
void opAssign()(Nullable other)
    {
        _value = other._value;
        _isNull = other._isNull;
    }


Or maybe just (no templated):


/**
Assigns $(D value) to the internally-held state. If the assignment
succeeds, $(D this) becomes non-null.
 */
    void opAssign(T value)
    {
        _value = value;
        _isNull = false;
    }

/// ditto
void opAssign(Nullable other)
    {
        _value = other._value;
        _isNull = other._isNull;
    }
