Ok, Does that mean
void main()
{
static struct Foo{}
foo();
}
void foo()
{
Foo f;
}
works?
No.
An example usage is for the singleton pattern:
T singletonViaFactory(T, A...)(A a)
if (is(T == class))
{
static T instance;
if (instance)
return instance;
else
return new T(a);
}
"instance" is well a global variable and not a local, but it's
hidden from the outside world.
Also, then how do I declare a struct to be "global" so that it
can be common to all threads? Do I have to declare _gshared
for each element of the struct?
no, just put __gshared before the variable declaration, not for
each member:
struct Foo
{
int i;
}
__gshared Foo foo;
is fine.
I use a struct with static members so I do not have to
instantiate it. It is essentially a singleton. I want all the
variables to be __gshared. I guess I have to prefix all variables
with it?
Basically I have Foo.i; on foo. i is static, of course. I also
want it to be __gshared.
Makes sense to me that
__gshared struct x;
all of x's variables should be __gshared.
