Strange type error

Using Swift
1

HI,

Does anyone know what is happening here:

protocol Subscriptable {

    associatedtype Element

    associatedtype Index

    var firstIndex: Index { get }

    var lastIndex: Index { get }

    subscript(index: Index) -> Element { get set }

}

struct AllSubscriptable<E, I>: Subscriptable {

    typealias Element = E

    typealias Index = I

    let firstIndexee: () -> I

    let lastIndexee: () -> I

    let subscriptee: (index: I) -> E

    let setSubscriptee: (index: I, element: E) -> Void

    var firstIndex: I { return firstIndexee() }

    var lastIndex: I { return lastIndexee() }

    subscript(index: I) -> E {

        get { return subscriptee(index: index) }

        set { setSubscriptee(index: index, element: newValue) }

    }

}

extension Array {

    var asScriptable: AllSubscriptable<Element, Int> {

        return AllSubscriptable(

            firstIndexee: { return self.startIndex }, // Error: Cannot
convert `() -> Int` to expected `() -> _`

            lastIndexee: { return self.endIndex },

            subscriptee: { return self[$0] },

            setSubscriptee: { self[$0] = $1 }

        )

    }

}

The error, "Cannot convert `() -> Int` to expected `() -> _`", on the
`firstIndexee` closure is very strange since the types are correct and the
same as `lastIndexee` which does not have an error.

Also if the set subscript in Subscriptable and then all the other set
support in AnySubscriptabe and in the extension is removed, then no error.

Any clues to why?

You protocol is not defined properly.

Hi,

I don't understand your comment, can you explain some more please?

Thanks,

It might have something to do with

`setSubscriptee`

with seems from the implementation is a `mutating` operation.

If you comment it out, or just give it a empty callback, it will pass
compile.

You can not mutate a array itself in a

`var asScriptable`

you might be able to accomplish such with a function.

struct AllSubscriptable<E, Index> {
    let setSubscriptee: (index: Index, element: E) -> Void
}
extension Array {
    mutating func asScriptable() -> AllSubscriptable<Element, Int> {
        func sub(key:Int, element: Element) {
                self[key] = element
        }
        return AllSubscriptable<Element, Int>(
            setSubscriptee: sub
        )
    }
}
