What causes “extension methods cannot be dynamically dispatched” here?

So, can somebody please help me understand why leveraging the same overload inside of those other methods is failing with that error? Precisely because you’re using a dynamic value (param) as one of the arguments. That means it will use dynamic dispatch… but dynamic dispatch isn’t supported for extension methods. The solution is simple though: … Read more

“Are you missing an assembly reference?” compile error – Visual Studio

In my case it was a project defined using Target Framework: “.NET Framework 4.0 Client Profile ” that tried to reference dll projects defined using Target Framework: “.NET Framework 4.0”. Once I changed the project settings to use Target Framework: “.NET Framework 4.0” everything was built nicely. Right Click the project->Properties->Application->Target Framework

Java 8: Reference to [method] is ambiguous [duplicate]

Your problem is a side-effect of Generalized Target-type Inference, an improvement in Java 8. What is Target-type Inference Let’s take your example method, public static <R> R get(String d) { return (R)d; } Now, in the method above, the generic parameter R cannot be resolved by the compiler because there’s no parameter with R. So, … Read more

error: Class has not been declared despite header inclusion, and the code compiling fine elsewhere

You seem to be saying that the code you are showing doesn’t actually produce the compiler error that you are having a problem with. So we can only guess. Here are some possibilities: You could have forgot to include problemclass.h from the file where you are using ProblemClass. You could have misspelled the name of … Read more

‘R’ could be instantiated with an arbitrary type which could be unrelated to ‘Response’

Generic functions in TypeScript act as a function representing every possible specification of its generic type parameters, since it’s the caller of the function that specifies the type parameter, not the implementer: type GenericFunction = <T>(x: T) => T; const cantDoThis: GenericFunction = (x: string) => x.toUpperCase(); // error! // doesn’t work for every T … Read more

Can GCC not complain about undefined references?

Yes, it is possible to avoid reporting undefined references – using –unresolved-symbols linker option. g++ mm.cpp -Wl,–unresolved-symbols=ignore-in-object-files From man ld –unresolved-symbols=method Determine how to handle unresolved symbols. There are four possible values for method: ignore-all Do not report any unresolved symbols. report-all Report all unresolved symbols. This is the default. ignore-in-object-files Report unresolved symbols that … Read more

Operator overloading ==, !=, Equals

As Selman22 said, you are overriding the default object.Equals method, which accepts an object obj and not a safe compile time type. In order for that to happen, make your type implement IEquatable<Box>: public class Box : IEquatable<Box> { double height, length, breadth; public static bool operator ==(Box obj1, Box obj2) { if (ReferenceEquals(obj1, obj2)) … Read more
