Any way around the 'typealias' requirement here


  • Subject: Any way around the 'typealias' requirement here

Trying to have a delegate pattern with a typealias requirement. I can define the protocol, I can make a class conform to it, but I can’t declare a variable of that type as a member of another class because it has associated type information. Is there a way to do this, or is there a very good reason what I’m trying to do doesn’t make sense?

public protocol Foo : class
{
	typealias Key
	func foo( k : Key )->()
}

public class FooClass : Foo
{
	typealias Key = Int

	public func foo( k : Int )->()		// satisfies the protocol requirement
	{
		print( "Satisfies Foo" )
	}
}


public class Bar<Key>
{
	var delegate : Foo 		// Protocol ‘Foo’ can only be used as a generic constraint because …
}


You see what I’m trying to mean here right, that the Foo here is a Foo with associated type ‘Key’.

I really want to be able to qualify the Foo with a where clause like

	var delegate : Foo where Foo.Key == Key

but you can’t use where clauses like that. Is there a way to write this or is this something which cannot be written.
