digitalmars.D.announce - Blog post on extending attribute inference to more functions

reply Adam D Ruppe <destructionator gmail.com> writes:
A lot of people ask for more inferred attributes - safe, nogc, 
etc. I have some thoughts.

Inferred Attributes

     Run-time dispatch
     Function documentation
     Compatibility contracts
     Attributes dependent on arguments
     ABI and .di file compatibility
     Compile speeds
     Conclusion

Read the details on my website here:

I try to post something there once a week btw, but work+child can 
make that difficult to find time. So they are often a little late 
and many weeks I only post the auto-generated summary. But if you 
want to look down the index, you can find a lot of things I've 
talked about. I very rarely announce them here since I don't want 
to spam too much.

So while you might only hear from me here a couple times a year, 
I am probably actually writing something on the website once or 
twice a month.

It would be nice if you'd spam our subreddit. There have been 
eight posts in the last month.

I don't like reddit. It is hard to use.

Of course if someone else wanted to post, you can. I might see it 
and comment but no promises since the UI is just really hard to 
keep up on and most reddit comments are low quality.

It's arguably harder to use these forums

Please more of them

I'm holding this Your post for a few days already in my mind, 
ADR. I've just coded something and come with the idea of 
 todo/ fixme/ issueid attributes, so compiler write messages each 
time it finds those. Just as a thought.. maybe It can be useful, 
although it's already can be done with pragma(msg, "txt")..

I abuse ` deprecated` for that purpose in my own code, to remind 
myself of some holes that need patching.

I put tags in comments, to text search later.
Usually:

```
     // TODO:   actually blocks a release
     // PERF:   a TODO but performance related
     // MAYDO:  a TODO but too tiring
     // HACK:   a TODO for a bad workaround
     // FUTURE: a TODO but long term
```

A way to have them be "first-class" would be interesting. Though, 
technically you can with UDAs.

Yes, this form is also recognized by some editors, might even 
compile a todo-list in the IDE interface for you (with no setup).
