May 20, 2015 DMD Symbol Reference Analysis Pass | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
Does DMD currently do any analysis of references to a symbol in a given scope? If not where could this information be extracted (in which visitor/callback) and in what structure should it, if so, be stored? Reason: After having read about Rust's data-flow (and in turn escape) analysis I'm very curious about how difficult it would be to add more clever type inference, of for example symbol mutability, based on this analysis. I'm asking again because of the work recently done in DIP-25, that may be related to this problem. |

I'm guessing
Scope::insert(Dsymbol*s)
{
if (VarDeclaration *vd = s->isVarDeclaration())
{
// ..
is of interest. Is there another member function called everytime a Dsymbol is referenced?
I'm guessing MODFlags plays a role here aswell.

I think you'd be more likely to get responses to this sort of question in the main group, not D.learn, it's a bit beyond "Learning D".
