Can someone explain me scope and with statements?
with statements simplify the access to a class, struct or
something else.
For example:
class A {
public:
int b = 42;
}
A a = new A();
normal access:
writeln(a.b); // writes 42
with 'with':
with (a) {
writeln(b); // writes 42
}
scope is one of my favorite features. You can create scopes which
are executed if the appropriate case comes.
For example at the end of a scope, by success of a scope etc.
Example:
int* mem = cast(int*) malloc(10 * int.sizeof);
scope(exit) free(mem);
After leaving scope the memory is freed.
Otherwise you have to write 'free(mem)' at the end of the scope
and thats a thing that I forget sometimes in C.
