Walter Bright: >I just hope you can be realistic about how much can be done about them in the short term.< Most of of my bugzilla entries are normal bugs, suggestions for improved error messages and diagnostic, Phobos bugs, enhancement requests, _additive_ changes, etc, that don't require any D spec/design change.

Regardless of what type of bug reports they are, it takes time to deal with them. Yes, some will take longer than others, but if you report them faster than the dev team can deal with them, then it's obviously going to take a while to get through everything that you report (and actually, if you always report them faster than they can deal with them, they'll _never_ get through them all). Now, as Walter said, that doesn't mean that you shouldn't report them, but Walter and company can only do so much so fast.

Posted in reply to bearophile | Wouldn't it be better if we had some kind of compile-time block statement instead of making separate compile-time keywords for every run-time keyword?
For example, we could reuse static, and instead of code like this from std.range:
private template MostDerivedInputRangeImpl(R) {
private alias ElementType!R E;
static if(isRandomAccessRange!R) {
static if(isInfinite!R) {
alias RandomAccessInfinite!E ret;
} else static if(hasAssignableElements!R) {
alias RandomFiniteAssignable!E ret;
} else {
alias RandomAccessFinite!E ret;
}
} else static if(isBidirectionalRange!R) {
static if(hasAssignableElements!R) {
alias BidirectionalAssignable!E ret;
} else {
alias BidirectionalRange!E ret;
}
} else static if(isForwardRange!R) {
static if(hasAssignableElements!R) {
alias ForwardAssignable!E ret;
} else {
alias ForwardRange!E ret;
}
} else {
static if(hasAssignableElements!R) {
alias InputAssignable!E ret;
} else {
alias InputRange!E ret;
}
}
}
We would have this:
private template MostDerivedInputRangeImpl(R) {
private alias ElementType!R E;
static {
if(isRandomAccessRange!R) {
if(isInfinite!R) {
alias RandomAccessInfinite!E ret;
} else if(hasAssignableElements!R) {
alias RandomFiniteAssignable!E ret;
} else {
alias RandomAccessFinite!E ret;
}
} else if(isBidirectionalRange!R) {
if(hasAssignableElements!R) {
alias BidirectionalAssignable!E ret;
} else {
alias BidirectionalRange!E ret;
}
} else if(isForwardRange!R) {
if(hasAssignableElements!R) {
alias ForwardAssignable!E ret;
} else {
alias ForwardRange!E ret;
}
} else {
if(hasAssignableElements!R) {
alias InputAssignable!E ret;
} else {
alias InputRange!E ret;
}
}
}
}
Or maybe use a different name for a compile-time block to not conflict with static.
