Maybe it would help a lot if it were possible to do infix operator
overloading also by extension methods. I.e. I understand so far you have
to define a method for the class you want to overload, e.g.
class Float{
public Float _operator_multiply(final Float other){
return this * other;
}
}
However, we cannot change the basic datatype classes, so it would be
nice I could simply write extensions like
class FloatExtensions{
public Float _operator_multiply(final Float e1, final Float e2){
return e1 * e2;
}
}
Which I then can use in my Xtend simply the same:
@Inject
extension FloatExtension
def function(Float a, Float b){
return a._operator_multiply(b)
}
Hence, it would be nice if in this case operator overloading would work
such I could write a * b instead.
Is this a proper feature request or are there arguments against?
Cheers,
Hauke

Hi,
if you use the proper naming scheme (operator_multiply instead of
_operator_multiply) everything works.
@Inject
extension Floats
def doSomething(float a, float b) {
a * b
}
def client(Float a, Float b) {
a * b
}
==
public class Floats {
public float operator_multiply(float a, float b) {
return a * b;
}
}
Regards,
Sebastian
