// A basic protocol
protocol ProtocolC: class { }

// A protocol extension basic protocol
protocol ProtocolDForSomeClassA: ProtocolC { }

// A work class's super class
class SomeClassBaseClass { }
// A work class
class SomeClassA: SomeClassBaseClass, ProtocolDForSomeClassA { }

// A tool class for control work class with protocol
class InstanceD<T: ProtocolC> {

// a instance method for call other method in extension
func callMethodD() { self.methodD() }
// a class method for call other method in extension
class func callClassMethodD() { self.classMethodD() }
}

// Add methods in extension
extension InstanceD { func methodD() { print("methodD-default") } }
extension InstanceD { class func classMethodD() { print("classMethodD-default") } }

// Add methods in extension with Where for check protocol
extension InstanceD where T: SomeClassBaseClass { func methodD() { print("methodD-someClassBaseClass") } }
extension InstanceD where T: SomeClassBaseClass { class func classMethodD() { print("classMethodD-someClassBaseClass") } }

// Direct call extension methods, result is what i wanted
InstanceD<SomeClassA>.init().methodD() // result: methodD-someClassBaseClass
InstanceD<SomeClassA>.classMethodD() // result: classMethodD-someClassBaseClass

// Call extension methods for instance methods, result isn't what i wanted
InstanceD<SomeClassA>.init().callMethodD() // result: methodD-default
InstanceD<SomeClassA>.callClassMethodD() // result: classMethodD-default

it seem like when i call callMethodD and callMethodD call extension methods. it won’t found extension with Where .
any one can tell me where?


i found a way to achieve what i wanted. add this code i will got what i wanted. but maybe not very good,(sad
