Re: Not initialized out argument error

[Kapps via Digitalmars-d]

C# forces you to set a default value for out parameters, and I 
personally find it annoying. The very nature of out parameters is 
often that you use it in a situation where there *may* be a 
result. Again using a C# example, 'bool 
Dictionary.TryGetValue(key, out foo)'. I don't care what the 
value of foo is if that returns false, yet the method still has 
to manually initialize it to what that particular implementation 
feels like (which is not guaranteed to be any particular value). 
I prefer D's approach where you have a guaranteed value that it 
gets default initialized to, and don't have to manually 
initialize it to some value if it doesn't make sense to assign a 
value.
