In the following, the aliases have no apparent effect (although they do compile). Is there a way to achieve a similar effect? I just want to be able to access
boxInstance.pos.x
using
boxInstance.x
I got the alias idea from the function page in the documentation:
http://digitalmars.com/d/function.html
under Function Inheritance and Overloading
obviously it doesn't describe the same thing, but I figured I'd give it a shot.
Given that it doesn't seem to work I was thinking that it might be a handy feature to have in the language?
I tried this as a struct(suitably modified) also.
public class Coord
{
int x, y;
this
(in int x, in int y)
{
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
}
}
public class Box
{
Coord pos, size;
alias pos.x x;
alias pos.y y;
alias size.x w;
alias size.y h;
this
(in int x, in int y,
in int w, in int h)
{
pos = new Coord(x, y);
size = new Coord(w, h);
}
}
