Bug 9518 – With DList of pointers, insertBack matches multiple templates.

For example: struct STRUCT { int field; } DList!(STRUCT*) list; STRUCT struct; //This works: list.insertBack(null); list.back=struct; //This doesn't: list.insertBack(&struct); The error is along the lines of: Error: template std.container.DList!(STRUCT*).DList.insertBeforeNode matches more than one template declaration, C:\D\dmd2\windows\bin\..\..\src\phobos\std\container.d(2054):insertBeforeNode(Stuff)(Node* n, Stuff stuff) if (isInputRange!(Stuff) && isImplicitlyConvertible!(ElementType!(Stuff), T)) and C:\D\dmd2\windows\bin\..\..\src\phobos\std\container.d(2113):insertBeforeNode(Stuff)(Node* n, Stuff stuff) if (isImplicitlyConvertible!(Stuff, T)) Looks as if it accidentally matches the range-adding insertBack function as well as the single-entry-adding function. (I haven't directly tested this example - I just encountered it in a bigger project. Apologies if I've got something wrong in the example.) I don't know enough about the stuff involved to fix this. Hopefully someone who knows D better can figure out a good fix, either in the compiler or in Phobos. :)

I meant of course: list.back = &struct;
