Add `..` syntax to select a member function only #1101

Closed hsutter closed 2 weeks ago

hsutter commented 3 weeks ago

With this PR, x.f() is still UFCS, but x..f() will now find only a member function.

For now I like that the default is UFCS, but as we get more experience I'm open to changing the default so that . is member selection and .. is UFCS (which would be a breaking change, but a mechanical one).

Also: Remove the old version of get_declaration_of now that the new lookup seems stable.

@hsutter It looks like builds/regression tests on some platforms fail due to warnings that become errors. Fixing the problems should not be difficult. Would you like some help with that? In any case, I would suggest merging #1095 first as it fixes some pre-existing regression test issues.

Hi, what is the use case this is addressing, if you don' t mind me asking?

Quite a bit of discussion at https://github.com/hsutter/cppfront/issues/1004

I'll take a look. Thanks!
