A beginner question: How to pass strings properly to functions in
D?
Is there any allocation going on if just use a function as
"myPrint"? In C++ I have often seen calls where one just passes a
reference/const reference to a string to avoid allocation.
C++:
void myPrintCPP(const std::string& input){ ... }
D:
void myPrint(string text){ ... }
void myPrintRef(ref string text) { ... }
So the question is does a function call like (ref string ...)
(myPrintRef) make any sense in D to avoid additional allocations?
A D-Style String could be seen as "const(char)[]"? So as it is a
slice it already is a kind of reference to some data elsewhere?
Which means calling a function like "myPrint" in D wouldn't cause
any allocation. Is this correct?
Thank's for your help.
