digitalmars.D - Seems like everybody's proposing const ... so here's another one
- Mike (17/17) Dec 07 2007 Why not keep the simple things simple?
- Denton Cockburn (6/27) Dec 07 2007 Maybe it could be implemented in some esoteric template code.
- Mike (9/14) Dec 07 2007 Maybe macros could do the same thing even better. Walter could leave con...

Why not keep the simple things simple? const int simple_pi =3D 3; Const, final and invariant have "default" meanings, whatever Walter thin= ks = makes the most sense. If you have the need to be specific about constnes= s, = you use: const(head: mutable, tail: invariant) [...]; It is aliasable of course. alias const(head: random, tail: pay-per-view) my_silly_const; // (*) my_silly_const [...]; What do you think? -Mike (*) Disclaimer: I don't mean to be sarcastic, it's just a silly joke = because it's friday :) -- = Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

That's the idea that Walter mentioned from Andrei (not yours, but tailconst!(c)). That's the best solution right now, but yours can certainly be implemented in another template.

Walter could leave const as it is for now, throw macros at the crowd and see what the community comes up with. I personally don't really like the idea of using templates for constness. It seems like a workaround. -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/
