--- Comment #4 from Simen Kjaeraas <[email protected]> --- I don't disagree there is a bug here, only that I think it's an instance of 2672. Let's say I want a pointer to the closeInactive function, but I will assign the context later. Should I then have to instantiate a Client, grab the delegate, null the context pointer, and destroy the Client instance before I have a pristine function pointer for future use? If 2672 is fixed (and it bloody well should be), hopefully registerTimer would choke upon getting a void function(Client) instead of the expected void delegate(). > it's the & operator -- it should fail when trying to create a delegate But it's not trying to create a delegate. It's trying and succeeding at creating a function pointer, which has the wrong signature due to issue 2672. --
