Actually that works but apparently order matters:
import std.stdio;
bool condition;
auto foo() {
// Compilation ERROR here
writeln(typeof(return).stringof);
if (condition) {
return 1.5;
}
return 42;
}
void main() {
foo();
}
Error: cannot use typeof(return) inside function foo with inferred
return type
But if you move typeof(return) after the first return statement, which
determines the return type of the function per spec, then it works:
auto foo() {
if (condition) {
return 1.5;
}
// Works here
writeln(typeof(return).stringof);
return 42;
}
Prints "double".

How to get return type of current method?
How can I get the return type of the current method without specifying the name or any complexity? Similar to typeof(this).
