digitalmars.D.learn - D thinks it is OK to mess around with TypeInfo
- Yuxuan Shui (13/13) Mar 04 2016 For example
- Rikki Cattermole (3/16) Mar 04 2016 Yeah TypeInfo and friends needs a lot of work done to it.
For example struct A{} safe void main(){ import std.stdio; A a, b; auto y = typeid(a); y.name = "Nope, I'm not A"; auto x = typeid(b); writeln(x); } Make changes to TypeInfo will affect all the future typeid() results! And D is OK with that? IMO, TypeInfo returned by typeid() should be immutable.
