https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12945 Issue ID: 12945 Summary: Deprecation for legacy static opCall feature in initializing Product: D Version: D2 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P1 Component: DMD Assignee: nobody puremagic.com Reporter: k.hara.pg gmail.com It is an old feature to emulate constructor call from D1 age. struct S { int num; static S opCall(int n) { S s; s.num = n; return s; } } void main() { S s = 1; // This line is translated to: // S s = S.opCall(1); } But in D2, "implicit constructor call" feature properly supports such the initializing syntax. struct S { int num; this(int n) { this.num = n; } } void main() { S s = 1; // This line is translated to: // S s = S(1); } Therefore, we can deprecate/remove the problematic opCall feature in initializing. --
