Bug 176335 – WSL StructTypes and Funcs should be type-specializable

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: WONTFIX
• Component: WebGPU

[Filip Pizlo]

I think that we should generalize the power of casts.  Specifically, make it possible to say:

void foo<|int>() { ... }
void foo<|double>() { ... }

Then when you call foo<int>(), you get the first one, and if you call foo<double>(), you get the second one.  If you call foo<bool>(), you get an error.

In general, the syntax would be:

void foo<typeVariables | typeParameters>()

So you could say:

void foo<T, U:numeric | vec4<T>, U>() { ... }

You'd get that function if you called:

foo<vec4<int>, double>();

We've removed generics from the language, so this bug doesn't make much sense any more.
