Re: Placement of shared does not allow to set a delegate

[Tolga Cakiroglu via Digitalmars-d-learn]

Thanks Ali. That has solved the problem. Actually I tried to use 
that `shared` as follows before:

public shared void delegate( shared(BasicSocketListener) sender ) 
eventWhenStarted;

Though it didn't work with that. When it is put "before" the 
attribute name, it works now. It is just confusing where to put 
it to.

Here is a minimal example that reproduces the issue and the 
hint that compiles the code:

class SocketListener
{
    public void delegate( shared(SocketListener) sender )
    /* shared */    // <-- UNCOMMENT TO COMPILE
    eventWhenStarted;
}

class C
{
    this()
    {
        auto listener = new shared SocketListener();
        listener.eventWhenStarted = &listener_whenStarted;
    }

    public void listener_whenStarted( shared(SocketListener) 
sender ) shared
    {}
}

void main()
{}

Error: cannot implicitly convert expression 
(&this.listener_whenStarted) of type void 
delegate(shared(SocketListener) sender) shared to shared(void 
delegate(shared(SocketListener)))
