Function Templates and Overloading

[leoandru]

Hello fellow D coders,

I'm having a problem and I'm not sure if I'm missing something or trying to do
something stupid so I hope someone can show me the light here. I have several
function templates with the same name and different arguments like this example:

void main()
{
Foo!(int) foo = new Foo!(int)(1,2,3,4,5,6,7);

sort!(int)(foo); //sort natural ordering
sort!(int)(foo, (int a, int b) { return -(a - b); } );  //sort reverse order
}

class Foo (T)
{
this(T[] args ...)
{
}
}


void sort(T) (Foo!(T) foo)
{
// ...
}


void sort(T) (Foo!(T) foo, int delegate(T a, T b) compare)
{
// ...
}


void sort(T) (Foo!(T) foo, int function(T a, T b) compare)
{
// ...
}

The problem im having is when I try to compile something like this I get
conflicts errors like:

templates.d(24): template templates.sort(T) conflicts with templates.sort(T) at
templates.d(19)
templates.d(29): template templates.sort(T) conflicts with templates.sort(T) at
templates.d(19) 

using dmd 0.61 win xp.

Somehow I though this would have worked in that it would instantiate the correct
template based on the functions parameters and the number or parameters given.
Is there any work around apart from renaming the functions?

Thanks for any assistance.
