Issue ID: 24805
Summary: The spec should not refer to default initialization as
default construction when discussing disabling it
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: dlang.org
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
The language allows us to disable default initialization - e.g.
---
struct S
{
int x;
@disable this();
this(int v) { x = v; }
}
---
and the https://dlang.org/spec/struct.html#disable_default_construction section
of the spec discusses this. However, it incorrectly talks about disabling
default construction instead of discussing disabling default initialization. As
default construction is not a thing with structs in D in the first place, the
terminology used in this part of the spec is just plain wrong and risks
confusing people. The spec should be updated to talk about disabling default
initialization instead.
