Issue ID: 14965
Summary: Forward reference to inferred return type of function
call when using auto return type
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: x86_64
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: dmd
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
import std.stdio;
import std.range : chain;
auto test(string a) {
return test(a, "b");
}
auto test(string a, string b) {
return chain(a, b);
}
void main() {
writeln(test(a));
}
Ends with: Error: forward reference to inferred return type of function call
'test'
I know this exact sample is solvable by default parameter but there are cases
where it is not possible.
Workaround is discussed here:
