Hi!
Why do need "@proprety" if everything works without it?
WBR,
Fyodor.
Check out the following code:
struct Test {
int foo() {
return 2;
}
int bar() @property {
return 2;
}
}
pragma(msg, typeof(Test.foo)); // Prints int(); i.e. a
zero-argument function that returns an int
pragma(msg, typeof(Test.bar)); // Prints int; i.e. a plain int
AFAIK when @property was introduced, it was expected that after a
deprecation period, calling non-property functions without
parenthesis would be invalid, but I don't think that panned out.
It's still good for documentation.
