Avoid several breaking changes in overload resolution from inferred types of lambda expressions and method groups #56341

cston · 2021-09-11T23:27:47Z

Update "better function member" to prefer members where none of the conversions and none of the type arguments involved inferred types from lambda expressions or method groups.

Better function member

...
Given an argument list A with a set of argument expressions {E1, E2, ..., En} and two applicable function members Mp and Mq with parameter types {P1, P2, ..., Pn} and {Q1, Q2, ..., Qn}, Mp is defined to be a better function member than Mq if

for each argument, the implicit conversion from Ex to Px is not a function_type_conversion, and

Mp is a non-generic method or Mp is a generic method with type parameters {X1, X2, ..., Xp} and for each type parameter Xi the type argument is inferred from an expression or from a type other than a function_type, and

for at least one argument, the implicit conversion from Ex to Qx is a function_type_conversion, or Mq is a generic method with type parameters {Y1, Y2, ..., Yq} and for at least one type parameter Yi the type argument is inferred from a function_type, or

for each argument, the implicit conversion from Ex to Qx is not better than the implicit conversion from Ex to Px, and for at least one argument, the conversion from Ex to Px is better than the conversion from Ex to Qx.

Update "better conversion from expression" to prefer conversions that did not involve inferred types from lambda expressions or method groups.

Better conversion from expression

Given an implicit conversion C1 that converts from an expression E to a type T1, and an implicit conversion C2 that converts from an expression E to a type T2, C1 is a better conversion than C2 if:

C1 is not a function_type_conversion and C2 is a function_type_conversion, or

E is a non-constant interpolated_string_expression, C1 is an implicit_string_handler_conversion, T1 is an applicable_interpolated_string_handler_type, and C2 is not an implicit_string_handler_conversion, or

E does not exactly match T2 and at least one of the following holds:

E exactly matches T1 (Exactly matching Expression)

T1 is a better conversion target than T2 (Better conversion target)

The changes resolve several breaking changes between C#9 and C#10.

Fixes #55691
Fixes #56167
Fixes #56319

Relates to test plan #52192

…not a function conversion

…nce did not infer type arguments from inferred type of lambdas or method groups

…s or argument conversion

jcouv · 2021-09-13T22:34:34Z

Regarding the proposed spec change:

a conversion from the inferred type of an anonymous method or a method group

Can this be simplified to "a function type conversion"?

Similarly, we can use the "function type" label as a shorthand in the third group.
Merging the bullets to reflect top-level OR with 3 groups.

The proposed spec changes covers "better function member" and is implemented by BetterFunctionMember above. But I don't a spec change for better conversion from expression. I think this change is sensible, but let's spec it too. #Resolved

Could we add a variant of this scenario with M<T, U>(Func<T>, U) versus M<T, U>(T, U)? I think it will be ambiguous, but may be worth discussing (should we keep a per-argument rule like before rather than adding an aggregate rule where any function type conversion means "worse"?) #Closed

lambda expressions

I'd suggest saying "lambda expressions and method groups" here, and convert bullet 3 to be bullet 2c. #Resolved

LGTM Thanks (iteration 21) with a suggestion to consolidate breaking change bullet 3 into breaking change bullet 2.
