Re: Function default parameters

[BCS]

Reply to tim,

I want to use the return value of another member function as the
default  for a parameter. I could just overload it but I would prefer
to do it like:

module test;

class Thing
{
char[] getString(uint len = this.strLen())
{
char[] a = new char[len];
return a;
}
uint strLen()
{
return 6;
}
}
int main()
{
Thing t = new Thing;
char[] abc = t.getString;
return 0;
}
test.d(6): Error: 'this' is only defined in non-static member
functions,  not Thing

Sorry. No sutch luck. The overload is what your stuck with.
