Bug 10597 – opDollar not callable in static constext

Discussed here: http://forum.dlang.org/thread/[email protected] //---- struct R { void opIndex(int); int opDollar(); } R r; void foo() { static assert(is(typeof(r[0]))); //ok static assert(is(typeof(r[$]))); //ok } static assert(is(typeof(r[0]))); //ok static assert(is(typeof(r[$]))); //fails (!) struct S { void foo() { static assert(is(typeof(r[0]))); //ok static assert(is(typeof(r[$]))); //ok } static assert(is(typeof(r[0]))); //ok static assert(is(typeof(r[$]))); //fails (!) } //---- Calling opDollar in a "static context" fails. Apparently, it would appear that opDollar is looking for some sort of "this" or context pointer. If opDollar is defined as static, or enum, then the above code works. The error message is kind of weird too: main.d(15): Error: static assert (is(typeof(r.opIndex((int __dollar = r.opDollar(); , __dollar))))) is false

(opDollar is D2 only feature.) https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/2331
