--- Comment #10 from Jonathan M Davis <[email protected]> 2011-07-08 16:07:37 PDT --- >- If it's typeof(this), the AssignExpression calls this op*Assign, sets the >lvalue to what op*Assign returns and then returns it. That would be a _bad_ idea. On some level, it defeats the purpose of op*Assign in the first place. There are cases where it is more efficient to do the operation and assign in one operation. Your suggestion basically relegates to op*Assign to being another opBinary except that it allows for the compiler to replace a op= b with a = a op b. Assignment _needs_ to be part of the implementation of op*Assign. That's part of the point. Yes, the return value of op*Assign should be the same as the value as the lvalue, but getting the return value and then doing the assignment makes op*Assign pretty much pointless. If that were the proper way to do it, we wouldn't have op*Assign in the first place. We'd just create op= from opBinary and opAssign. And that's _not_ what we want. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
