           Summary: [enh] polymorphic lambda should be storeable in enum
                    constant
           Product: D
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD

        ReportedBy: code dawg.eu



I don't see a compelling reason why we should disallow assigning polymorphic
lambdas to manifest constants.
This would allow the following code to work.

enum foo = bar => bar * 2;
foo(10);
foo!uint(10); // probably too

The equivalent template would be.
template foo(T) { auto foo(T bar) { return bar * 2; } }

This is for example very handy to replace C-style macros.

#define MASK(val) ((val) & 0xF)
vs.
enum MASK = val => val & 0xF;

This would mean 'enum' variable could refer to templates... I don't think this
is a good idea, enums are for values.

Alternative:

alias foo = bar => bar * 2;
foo(10);
foo!uint(10); // probably too

This fits much better with the existing lanuage IMO.

You are right.

Now the D language supports enum and alias used as lambdas, so adding template
function lambdas seems good:


import std.typecons: Tuple;
void main() {
    alias Pair(T) = Tuple!(T, T); // OK
    auto p = Pair!int(10, 20);
    enum isGood(T) = is(T == int) || is(T == long); // OK
    static assert(isGood!int);
    enum foo(T) = (T x) => x * x; // OK
    static assert(foo!int(5) == 25);
    alias bar = x => x * x; // Error
}
