[code.haxe.org] Other - Passing different types to a function parameter about haxe.org-comments HOT 2 OPEN

I wrote a macro solution to Either enums with @:genericbuild. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57481810/some-errors-with-genericbuilding-enums

I can write also a OneOf abstract the macro way, and roll everying up in a nifty tutorial. But are there any takers?

I was searching for solution, how to pass either Iterator<T> or Iterable<T> as an argument to function and ended with this solution with abstract:

@:forward
abstract IteratorOrIterable<T>(Iterator<T>) to Iterator<T> from Iterator<T> {
	@:from inline static function fromIterable<T>(iter:Iterable<T>):IteratorOrIterable<T>
		return iter.iterator();
}
