I have a question. In the following code, the converter with static int
generics fails. Are there any way to avoid this?
My purpose is to make C++-like constructor for which calling <Classname>(value)
generates S object because the conventional constructor using init*** is
inconvenient in programming with generics.
I know that this is possible by using converter. Are there any other way to
make this kind of constructor?
type S[N:static[int]] = object
a:int
converter toS[N:static[int]](a:int):S[N] = S[N](a:a mod N)
echo toS[13](19) # works
#var x:S[13] = 19 # Error: type mismatch: got <int literal(19)> but
expected 'S[13]'
#echo S[13](19) # Error: type mismatch: got <int literal(19)> but expected
'S[13]'
type S2[T] = object
a:T
converter toS2[T](a:T):S2[T] = S2[T](a:a)
echo toS2(21) # works
var y:S2[int] = 21 # works
echo S2(21) # works
Run
