--- Comment #1 from Daniel Gibson <metalcae...@gmail.com> 2011-05-01 21:37:12 PDT --- An additional comment: Seems like clear() *is* documented - not in the online documentation but in TLDP on pages 187/188 (for classes) and 253/254 (for structs). It says: "You can invoke a struct object’s destructor explicitly by calling clear(obj).", and the last code-example included auto obj1 = S("first object"); No new there, so it's even correct with the current clear implementation. It doesn't mention that clear doesn't work with "auto obj = new S("blah");". And TLDP doesn't mention at all (at least on the pages the index lists for "clear") that clear can be used with simple types and even pointers, setting them to T.init. So I'd suggest to only allow clear() for (class-) Objects, structs and pointers to structs (in that case dereferencing the pointer and clearing the struct). If something like clear() that is so generic that it works for *any* type is needed, just add another function that does what clear() currently does. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
