why readf do not use reference ? as :

uint readf(Data...)(in char[] format, ref Data data);


it is not possible? I think this little thing could enhance to have a D cohesive syntax. Of course D support pointer but ref is more in D spirit and point C spirit. They are not many phobos function where need a pointer or an address.


Thanks, i hope my talk is not stupid

kind regards

Using pointers is also safe because readf doesn't escape them. Actually I'm reopening this with a different title. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
