           Summary: Nasty bug and/or error message for template constaints
                    using this

I tried to make the code as brief as possible:
module rettypeinfer;

import std.stdio;

struct Unit( A ) {

  void useMe() {
    writeln( isUnit!this );
    writeln( is( unitType!this == int ) );
    writeln( ( unitType!this ).stringof );
  }

  void useMoreOfMe( T )( T t ) if( is( atomType!T == unitType!( typeof( this )
) ) ) {
    writeln( "We're ok, but borderline" );
  }

  void butPleaseDontUseMe( T )( T t ) if( is( atomType!T == unitType!( ( this )
) ) ) {
    writeln( "Look at the error message" );
  }

}

template isUnit( alias T ) if( is( T ) ) {
  static if( is( T _: Unit!Args, Args... ) ) {
    enum isUnit = true;
  } else {
    enum isUnit = false;
  }
}
template isUnit( alias T ) if( !is( T ) ) {
  enum isUnit = isUnit!( typeof( T ) );
}
template unitType( alias T ) if( isUnit!T ) {
  static if( is( T _: Unit!Args, Args... ) ) {
    alias unitType = Args[ 0 ];
  } else {
    alias unitType = unitType!( typeof( T ) );
  }
}

struct Atom( A ) {

}

template isAtom( alias A ) if( is( A ) ) {
  static if( is( A _: Atom!Args, Args... ) ) {
    enum isAtom = true;
  } else {
    enum isAtom = false;
  }
}
template isAtom( alias A ) if( !is( A ) ) {
  enum isAtom = isAtom!( typeof( A ) );
}
template atomType( alias T ) if( isAtom!T ) {
  static if( is( T _: Atom!Args, Args... ) ) {
    alias atomType = Args[ 0 ];
  } else {
    alias atomType = atomType!( typeof( T ) );
  }
}

void main( string[] args ) {
  Unit!int u;

  assert( isUnit!u );
  assert( isUnit!( typeof( u ) ) );
  assert( is( unitType!u == int ) );
  assert( is( unitType!( typeof( u ) ) == int ) );

  u.useMe();

  Atom!int a;

  assert( isAtom!a );
  assert( isAtom!( typeof( a ) ) );
  assert( is( atomType!a == int ) );
  assert( is( atomType!( typeof( a ) ) == int ) );

  u.useMoreOfMe( a );

  //Crashes, with nasty error message.
  u.butPleaseDontUseMe( a );
}

Run this and it outputs:
Assertion failure: 'fd && fd->inferRetType' on line 81 in file 'mangle.c'

abnormal program termination

The last function crashes the program. If you replace unitType!this with
unitType( typeof( this ) ) the function works properly, as in the previous
member declaration.

Reduced test case:

struct Unit(A)
{
    void butPleaseDontUseMe()()
    if (is(unitType!((this))))  // !
    {}

}
template isUnit(alias T) if ( is(T)) {}
template isUnit(alias T) if (!is(T)) {}
template unitType(alias T) if (isUnit!T) {}
void main()
{
    Unit!int u;
    u.butPleaseDontUseMe();     // crashes
}

====

I think the instantiation unitType!((this)) in the template constraint for
butPleaseDontUseMe template function should always fail, because the 'this'
symbol yet not has an actual entity while the constraint evaluation.

That means, the invocation of s.foo() should fail in following.

template Sym(alias A) { enum Sym = true; }
struct S {
    void foo()() if (Sym!(this)) {}
    // Sym!(this) always make an error, because
    // Sym template never be able to access
    // valid 'this' symbol.
}
void main() { S s; s.foo(); }

Yes it makes sense, however the error message is clearly not appropriate! Something like: dmd: Error: If you use this in template constraint again I will hate you. Should do :) -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
