let's assume I have > class C { > static string foo() { writeln("got called!"); //.... } > } then I want to cache foo at some point: > import std.algorithm; > auto v = cache(c.foo); I call do: > for(int i = 0; i <10; i++) { > writeln(v); > } then it'll print "got called" only once, which is what I want but something obvious is how do I get the returned value as a string? here's why I'm confused more often than I should: I geeeting to D's way to do thing and the auto keyword even in documentation confused me a bit as I'm used to C++/C# world where the struct/class returned is explicity so I just navigate to aggregate type's documentation page. |

It actually returns an object that caches the individual characters of that string, rather than the string! The memoize function is closer to what you want: http://dpldocs.info/experimental-docs/std.functional.memoize.2.html Though tbh, I think you should just simply do: string s = c.foo; // go ahead and just use s now > here's why I'm confused more often than I should: I geeeting to D's way to do thing and the auto keyword even in documentation confused me a bit as I'm used to C++/C# world where the struct/class returned is explicity so I just navigate to aggregate type's documentation page. The tricky thing is a lot of them create a new type based on its arguments, so there would be nothing to navigate to - it all depends on what you pass it. Though, you'll notice with memoize, it returns `ReturnType!fun`, that is, the same return type fun (which you passed to it) had. |
