Revision as of 00:39, 12 March 2014
D is an evolving and complex language. New features are proposed, unexpected interaction in old ones get found, design issues are raised. All this may involve hard debates in D newsgroup and if often forgotten. This page serves as an index for major design discussions and proposals.
Formal improvement proposals can be found on the main DIP index.
Contents
[hide]Properties
Description
Initial @property design has issues. How can it be changed or even discarded at all?
Thread
- Initial discussion where this topic has rised
- Walters follow-up with proposal to kill property, most info here
Essential moments
Proposals
Access specifiers and symbol visibility
Description
Currently there is feature like "static global" in C or "unnamed namespace" in C++. Access specifiers for module-level symbols control access, not visibility. Ability to hide symbols needs to be added without breaking current access system.
As a result of discussion, Walter has asked for DIP on this topic.
