Found this out while just looking at lowerings. Wondering if anyone knows the semantics involved here and where they are documented?

And, is there anyway to do it with multiple variables?

I.e.

if (int a = 0, int b = 0) {
 // ...
}


Cheers,

It's particularly useful when dealing with stuff like C functions that return 0 on success or getting values from AAs. e.g.

if(auto value = key in aa)
{
}

I don't believe so.

How do you "look at lowerings"? Is there a list, I'm not aware of? ;)

Go here https://run.dlang.io/is/tJ4vXm and click on the AST button :) It shows you what the code turns in to after all the semantic passes.

Yeah... no... I'm aware of this cool thing ))
I thought you have a hidden source of knowledge, where all available transformations back and fore are specified, somehow... ))
