digitalmars.D.learn - Problems with std.traits.isSafe & SafeD

Hmm, next problem with safe D.

unittest
{
      safe int tf(int i){return i;}
     bool a = isSafe!(tf);
     assert(a == true);
     static assert(isSafe!(tf));
     static assert(isSafe!(typeof(&tf)));
}

All three asserts fail! Even the example from std.traits doesn't work for  
me, isSafe always returns false. And the last assert causes another  
problem:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
event.d(170): Error: template instance isSafe!(int delegate(int i)) does  
not match template declaration isSafe(alias func)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So it's not possible to check the safety of a delegate Type? It seems like  
isSafe just doesn't support this use case, maybe it could be added, but  
why is "typeof(&tf)" "int delegate(int i)"? Shouldn't  safe be somewhere  
in that type?

There are a number of bugs relating to delegates. Among those, it appears that _traits (and probably std.traits) doesn't handle them properly. e.g. this bug here: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4816 Open a bug report on it, if you haven't already. delegates and function pointers already don't deal with modifiers like const correctly. It doesn't surprise me in the least that they don't handle safe correctly. - Jonathan M Davis
