Hi,
why does the following code not compile -- or how to declare a (usable)
property of an associative array field?
//////////////////////
class Test
{
private int[int] _testMap;
public int[int] testMap() {return _testMap;}
public void opIndexAssign(int val, int ndx){ _testMap[ndx] = val; }
}
testMap() is a getter and can only return the value it is designed to.
You must implement a setter to accomplish what you are trying to do.
Unfortunately I'm not sure how to do it with AAs so I'll leave the
details to someone that's a little smarter than I.
I think that maybe implementing opIndexAssign might do the trick though.
See modifications to Test and main().
void main()
{
Test test = new Test();
//test.testMap[0] = 1; // Error: getters cannot be assigned to
test[0] = 1;
}
/////////////////
*** Error: test.testMap() is not an lvalue
