perhaps kinda convenient, but it's impossible to supply environment
variables with loads of allocations.
I think the functions which take the environment as an associative
array can be changed without breaking any user code. E.g.:
Pid spawnProcess(Env)(in char[][] args,
File stdin = std.stdio.stdin,
File stdout = std.stdio.stdout,
File stderr = std.stdio.stderr,
/* was const string[string] env = null */
const Env env = Env.init,
Config config = Config.none)
if (isSomeAssociativeArray!Env) // introduce constraint
{
}
Then the user can provide their custom stack-based type which implements
opIn_r.
It's a good idea. I believe it can be done later without breaking any
code.
