Issue ID: 16181
Summary: Overloading doesn't consider default arguments with
regards to ambiguity
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P1
Component: dmd
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
The following code compiles:
---
int foo(int a, int b=2) {
return a + b;
}
int foo(int a) {
return a;
}
int main() {
return foo(12);
}
---
The interaction between default arguments and overloading doesn't appear to be
documented, which should be rectified regardless, but isn't this ambiguous? The
above code is rejected by C++ compilers as 'ambiguous', and I would certainly
expect an error to be generated in this particular case.
