, will there also be a return this
for the case like the opIndex functions returning something with the lifetime of the containing struct? I don't quite get how it's otherwise fixing it.
return this
in struct member functions is return ref
. Walter proposes in the bugzilla issue to allow ref
after the parameter list:
struct S {
ref int opIndex() return ref scope {
}
}
Jesus... Recall how, at that one DConf, Scott Meyers suggested that D would be wise to not require a Scott Meyers? Well what do you know, if you have
ref what() return;
ref the() return scope;
ref fuck() return ref scope;
all in the same language, then you'd need a Meyers-Sutter hybrids mass-cloned 24/7 in a specialized facility for the sole purpose of teaching this stuff, if you want the language to get anywhere. And some enslaved clones of Andrei locked away in a basement, churning out book after book titled "Writing code that don't not work". Something stinks something fierce here.
https://dlang.org/spec/function.html#parameters needs to get simpler, not turn into a PhD thesis, which it is already well on the way to.
