http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=9665 Summary: Structure constant members can not be initialized if have opAssign Product: D Version: D2 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: DMD AssignedTo: nobody@puremagic.com ReportedBy: maximzms@gmail.com --- Comment #0 from Maksim Zholudev <maximzms@gmail.com> 2013-03-08 02:49:18 PST --- Normally constant members of a structure can be initialized in constructor. However this is not possible if they have overloading of assignment operator. This restricts usage of complex numbers from std.complex since they are structures with opAssign. ------------------- struct Foo1 // opAssign is a function { int value; void opAssign(int src) { value = src; } } struct Foo2 // opAssign is a template { int value; void opAssign()(int src) { value = src; } } struct Boo { const Foo1 f1; const Foo2 f2; this(int src) { f1 = src; // Error! f2 = src; // Error! } } void main() {} ------------------- test.d(20): Error: mutable method test.Foo1.opAssign is not callable using a const object test.d(21): Error: template test.Foo2.opAssign does not match any function template declaration. Candidates are: test.d(10): test.Foo2.opAssign()(int src) test.d(21): Error: template test.Foo2.opAssign()(int src) cannot deduce template function from argument types !()(int) ------------------- -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- |

Currently, compiler always considers opAssign operator overloading for all field "assignment" in constructor. struct S { T field; this(...) { field = xxx; } // If T has opAssign, it is called. } But for non-mutable field, opAssign invocation is not legal, because it may break const correctness. T* p; struct T { void opAssign(int n) { ...; p = &this; } } struct S { immutable T field; this(...) { field = 1; // invoke T.opAssign (currently not allowed) /* now global p holds mutable pointer to immutable T object! */ } } I have no answer for this issue... So, assigned to Andrei. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- |

You can: import std.stdio; import std.c.string : memcpy; struct Foo1 // opAssign is a function { int value; void opAssign(int src) const { int* ptr = cast(int*) &this.value; *ptr = src; } } struct Boo { const Foo1 f1; this(int src) { f1 = src; // Error! } } void main() { Boo b = Boo(42); writeln(b.f1.value); // prints 42 } -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- |

If not, then changes should be allowed for pure opAssign (e.g. with implicit cast field to mutable). -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- |

Posted in reply to Maksim Zholudev | http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=9665 --- Comment #7 from Kenji Hara <k.hara.pg@gmail.com> 2013-03-09 10:29:11 PST --- (In reply to comment #5) [snip] To enforce breaking type system by language users is not good at all. When talking about language semantics, unsafe operation like cast must not appear. Language user can break type system explicitly, but compiler must not do it. (In reply to comment #6) > Is there any way to break const correctness if opAssign is pure? 'pure' attribute does not affect constancy. > If not, then changes should be allowed for pure opAssign (e.g. with implicit > cast field to mutable). opAssign should modify its 'this' object for the meaningful operation, but mutable method cannot call on non-const object, even inside constructor. So this problem is unfixable. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- |

Posted in reply to Maksim Zholudev | http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=9665 --- Comment #9 from Andrei Alexandrescu <andrei@erdani.com> 2013-03-09 17:42:11 PST --- This is an insufficiency in D's design. I think we should approach this the same way as super() invocation and construction of qualified objects: 1. When a constructor is entered, the object is in a "raw" state. 2. While in this raw state, the object is not considered initialized so it can't be passed to functions etc. Its const/immutable members (be they by their own qualifier or propagated from the object) are also raw and can't be passed out. 3. This raw state lasts until super() has been called EXACTLY ONCE and each qualified field has been assigned to EXACTLY ONCE. 4. At that point the object has become "cooked" and all restrictions are lifted. Kenji, I recall we discussed this design in the context of const and immutable constructors, and you were favorable to it. How about we extend the same design for initializing qualified members in all contexts? We can reuse the same primitive flow analysis that's now used for super(). -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- |
