Module constructors if one of the things that don't work
properly. I don't know exactly how this works in std.stdio I
would need to study the code. If I recall correctly std.stdio
uses some kind of hack to avoid circular dependencies that can
otherwise occur if two modules, both having module
constructors, import each other.
Yes, that hack consists in :
1) defining extern(C) void std_stdio_static_this() instead of
static this()
2) defining an auxiliary module std.stdiobase who will call it at
module construction:
module std.stdiobase;
extern(C) void std_stdio_static_this();
shared static this(){
std_stdio_static_this();
}
I'm still puzzled as to why modifying the code inside
std_stdio_static_this (say with assert(0)) doesn't have any
effect (hence the need for the templated version I'm using).
Another workaround (besides adding std_stdio_static_this2) would
be to make the field File.p non-private so that my
std_stdio_static_this2 could be defined outside std.stdio. Any
suggestion?
