CTFE Status

[Stefan Koch via Digitalmars-d]

Member-Function calls work now!

this code will compile and properly execute with newCTFE:

struct iota_range
{
   int current;
   int end;
   int step;

   uint front()
   {
      return current;
   }

   void popFront()
   {
     current += step;
     // we need this return otherwise we generate invalid code :(
     return ;
   }

   bool empty()
   {
     return current > end;
   }

   this(uint end, uint begin = 0, uint step = 1) pure
   {
     assert(step != 0, "cannot have a step of 0");
     this.step = step;
     this.current = begin;
     this.end = end;
   }
}

auto Iota(int end)
{
   return iota_range(end);
}

uint testThisCall(uint end)
{
   uint result;

   foreach(n;Iota(end))
   {
     result += n;
   }

   return result;
}


static assert(testThisCall(12) == 78);


Neat, huh ?
