Hi,
I am trying to convert _d_newclass
to a template function.
With this, I aim to remove the old hook from rt.lifetime.d
.
However, this function is used directly by TypeInfo_Class.create
.
TypeInfo_Class.create
cannot call the template hook because it doesn't have access to the explicit type, only to its typeid
.
Being a public function, TypeInfo_Class.create
can be called by user code and simply deleting it or changing it to a template as well will most likely break existing code.
For example, it will break this line in DustMite.
I think the only thing I can do is to leave the old hook in rt.lifetime.d
for now as it will only be used by TypeInfo_Class.create
. Then I'll remove it in the future if TypeInfo_Class.create
or TypeInfo
itself become deprecated.
How do you say I should proceed with this? Do you see a way to use the template _d_newclass
inside TypeInfo_Class.create
?
Thanks,
Teodor
