Use of BinaryFloatingPoint types with custom operators.

[nickmshelley]

I feel like I'm probably just missing something stupid, but the following code demonstrates a problem I'm having:

let n: Double = 44
button.heightAnchor == 44 // works
button.heightAnchor == CGFloat(n) // works
button.heightAnchor == n // Failes with "Binary operator '==' cannot be applied to operands of type 'NSLayoutDimension' and 'Double'"

I feel like it should work without wrapping it because of this operator definition: https://github.com/Raizlabs/Anchorage/blob/master/Source/Anchorage.swift#L45.

Am I doing something wrong?

@nickmshelley Are you certain you're using the latest version of Anchorage (and also importing the module)? The snippet you provided compiles for me in Swift 4.0 / Xcode 9.2

[nickmshelley]

I’m on Xcode 9.3 (Swift 4.1). Maybe it’s a new issue.

[jvisenti]

Ahh quite possibly. @ZevEisenberg did you address anything like this in #57 ?

[ZevEisenberg]

Yep, @nickmshelley's code compiles on my branch. We should get an update out!

[ZevEisenberg]

This should be fixed as of the newly-released 4.2.2. @nickmshelley please let us know if it's working for you now, and feel free to reopen or file a new issue if it's not.

It works for us, thanks!

Funny story though... It turns out that we had copied the README line that pointed to 3.x, so we were using a year-old version. 😅 When I saw @jvisenti's question I was away from my computer and just assumed we were on the latest since we very recently added the library to the project. Sorry if my bad assumption caused any unnecessary work.

As a side note, good call on updating the readme: f43a8ee#diff-04c6e90faac2675aa89e2176d2eec7d8 :)

@nickmshelley I noticed that Carthage documentation issue in the README by accident while we were releasing 4.2.2 😅
Glad it helped!
