Hi,

I have the following code.

struct Foo(int DIM) {
	Foo!(DIM) opBinary(string op) (Foo!(DIM) rhs)
		if (op == "+" || op == "-")
	{
		return Foo!(DIM)();
	}
}

unittest {
	auto u = Foo!(2)();
	auto v = Foo!(2)();
	assert(u + v == u);
}

I got the following during my test.

Z:\proj\D\gas>rdmd --main -unittest a.d
rdmd --main -unittest a.d
a.d(12): Error: incompatible types for ((u) + (v)): 'Foo!(2)' and
'Foo!(2)'
Failed: dmd -unittest -v -o- "a.d" -I"." >a.d.deps

I have no idea why the incompatible types error occurred.

This doesn't answer the issue and the error message above is useless at 
best, but here is a workaround:

    Foo opBinary(string op) (Foo rhs)
    if (op == "+" || op == "-")
    {
        writeln("My type: ", Foo.stringof);
        return Foo();
    }

Within the template definition, the name of the template alone means 
"that particular instantiation of the template".

As Ali said, use Foo instead of Foo!DIM, but I think there is also a bug  
for this already.  I just can't find it right now...
