I can’t remember, do Ada or Modula2 have something like
myfunc( x => 100, y => 200, color => blue ) [1]
which has named parameters that can be passed in any order.
Does D have anything like this? If not, would anyone support a
development like the above [1] ?
If D does not have this, I am wondering about how to write such a
thing but the cure might very very easily be worse than the
disease. I have little clue here. I have seen a hack for C
(written by RevK) that involves assignments to fields in a struct
and the struct is then passed to a function.
Something like
myfunc( { field2: 20, field1: 10, fieldstr : "a string" } )
[2]
and preprocessor trickery was used to get rid of the unsightly {
} by making a macro call to a wrapper macro that takes variadic
... arguments.
