Thanks, but I still can't get out of the woods. I've distilled
everything down to the following:
------------------------------------------------------------------
int arrayByteSize(T)(T[] someArray)
{
ubyte[] arr = cast(ubyte[]) someArray;
return arr.length;
}
int i = arrayByteSize(dynamicArray); // works with above
function.
------------------------------------------------------------------
However, if I just add a constraint to the function template
int arrayByteSize(T)(T[] someArray)
if (isDynamicArray!(T))
{
ubyte[] arr = cast(ubyte[]) someArray;
return arr.length;
}
int i = arrayByteSize(dynamicArray); // Same call - all hell
breaks loose.
Error arrayByteSize(T)(T[] someArray) if (isDynamicArray!T)
Error: template compilelinkshaders.arrayByteSize cannot deduce
function from argument types !()(float[]), candidates are:
Why would a working function call stop working just because a
constraint was added to the function?
