Try this. protocol Position {
var x: Double { get set } } struct Car: Position { var x: Double } func move<T>(item: inout T) where T:Position { item.x += 1 } var car = Car(x: 50) move(item: &car) car.x // 51 Zhaoxin On Sat, May 27, 2017 at 12:35 AM, Guillaume Lessard via swift-users < swift-users@swift.org> wrote: > In your example, the compiler needs a parameter of type Position.
