Type scope operators doesn't work if type is declared in function scope, bug?

[Jens]

Thanks!

I added a comment to that bug and SR-8672 which I linked as related.

Seems to me like the seemingly protocol-related issues described in the following threads are caused by the simpler (non-protocol related) issue of type scope operators not working when the type is declared in function scope:

Nested struct Comparable conformance not working?

why does this not work when the struct is local to a function? func f() { struct Pair:Hashable, Comparable { let x:Int, y:Int static func < (lhs:Pair, rhs:Pair) -> Bool { if lhs.y < rhs.y { return true } else if lhs.y == rhs.y { return lhs.x < rhs.x } else { return false } } …

Hashable struct in function

Hello ! I would like to have some clarifications about why Set does not interact properly with a Hashable struct declared in a function. Here I have a struct Hello that conforms to hashable and only needs its id for the hashValue. Because structs need to have Equatable custom conformance to have custom hash behavior, so a == function is declared. 23 I first declare a Set with an identifier 123 and the I try to insert another struct having the same identifier with different "value". It does not…
