Issue ID: 13396
Summary: Non-instance and final methods on extern(C++)
interfaces shouldn't be mangled as C++ names
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: regression
Priority: P1
Component: DMD
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
A while back, some changes were made to the C++ mangling, those changes broke
the build on an old project of mine which declared the following:
extern(C++) public interface ScriptObject // Total size: 0x3C
{
public:
final static T Find(T)(string name) { return T.init; }
}
and, in another file, it does:
ScriptObject.Find!SomeObjectType("SomeObjectType");
This instantiates the template, and the current DMD tries to mangle Find as a
C++ function, which obviously fails, because string isn't something you can
mangle for C++.
I believe that methods with implementations in extern(C++) interfaces should
still be using the D calling convention and mangling scheme.
