Hello. So I was trying to pass a delegate as an argument in a 
function and was wondering if I'm writing the correct code for it.

You see my code is :


//////////////////////////////////////////


class Foo()
{
  void bar()
  {
  writeln("Hello World");
  }
}

class Bar()
{

void delegate() action;

   void setAction(void delegate() dele)
   {
    action = dele;
   }

}

void main()
{
Foo foo = new Foo();
Bar bar = new Bar();
bar.setAction(&foo.bar);
bar.action();
}

/////////////////////////////////////////

Is this correct? Because I've been having trouble calling the 
delegate when passing the method and I read many documentation 
concerning function and delegates. I'm just confused. 
(Disclaimer: My code's pattern is the same as above but it's not 
really my exact code)

Those parentheses make this a (zero parameter) class template. I suppose 
you just want a plain class. Drop them then.

 {
   void bar()
   {
   writeln("Hello World");
   }
 }

 class Bar()

ditto

 {

 void delegate() action;

    void setAction(void delegate() dele)
    {
     action = dele;
    }

 }

 void main()
 {
 Foo foo = new Foo();
 Bar bar = new Bar();
 bar.setAction(&foo.bar);
 bar.action();
 }

Aside from the mentioned parentheses (and a missing import), 
everything's correct.

Just to make your code a little more clear, try using aliases 
when defining delegate parameters. Like this:

alias Action = void delegate();

Then in your code you use the alias, like this:

class Bar()
{
     private Action _action;

     void setAction(Action d)
     {
         this._action = d;
     }
}

IMHO it makes everything more readable and you only have one 
definition of the delegate signature.

Replying to my self because I don't know how I can reply to two 
posts at once.

Thank you for helping. I've had a problem on handling delegates 
in my code so I was not sure if it was working. I'll post here if 
I can't find the solution.
