Can someone check this out? The best I can acertain is that the
mixin template isn't adding the generated functions because it
thinks they are already in the class.
i.e., the code generates the following methods
@property iButton button(iButton b)
@property iBorder border(iBorder b)
and the class contains the methods
@property WindowsButton button()
@property WindowsButton button(WindowsButton b)
and the template mixin simply doesn't add the generic methods.
(simply because mixing the string mixin directly works,
wrapping it in a mixin template does not)
Using that I created a MWE:
http://dpaste.dzfl.pl/6f64e49aba95
import std.stdio, std.cstream;
// mixin template used to wrap the string mixin
mixin template C() { mixin(B); }
// eponymously named template used as a string mixin to
generate the function
template B()
{
string B() { return "void foo(iA a) { writeln(`Generic`); }";
}
}
interface iA { void foo(iA a); }
class A : iA
{
void foo(A a) { writeln("Specific"); }
//mixin(B);
mixin C; // doesn't work, use line above, does not insert
generic foo
}
void main()
{
iA a = new A;
a.foo(a);
(cast(A)a).foo(cast(A)a);
(cast(A)a).foo(a); // line doesn't work when using mixin
template because the generic foo does not exist
}
This seems like a bug to me but maybe that's how mixin
templates work? If so is there any way to make them insert the
code regardless if it thinks they are the same? (they are not
in this case and I need to use them to reduce redundancy)
I admit I didn't read the entire description but maybe it is
related to this
