#20927

[Gauravsh-24]

The file test/test_opcall.d contains a D programming language code snippet that defines a struct Test with an overloaded opCall method. The opCall method is conditionally defined with the if false statement, meaning it will not be compiled or executed.

In the main function, an instance of Test is created, which is intended to be interpreted as a constructor call.

Please retitle the commit message and PR title to give a short summary of what issue #20927

[thewilsonator]

what's with the if false?

[Gauravsh-24]

The line Test opCall() if false indicates that the opCall method is conditionally compiled based on the if false statement. This means that the method will not be available or compiled into the program, effectively making it a no-op.

[Gauravsh-24]

The main function creates an instance of Test, which will call the default constructor since opCall is not defined due to the if false condition.

[thewilsonator]

in which it should be Test opCall() if (false) (note the parentheses)

[Gauravsh-24]

The opCall method is defined within the Test struct but is conditionally compiled based on the if (false) statement, meaning it will not be available in the compiled output.

[Gauravsh-24]

the code with the if (false) condition in the opCall method. Since the method is conditionally compiled and will not execute, can it will need be modify the condition to if (true) to allow the method to be compiled and executed.

[Gauravsh-24]

struct Test
{
Test opCall() if (true)

[Gauravsh-24]

Is it wright?
