The first DIP has just landed into the new queue. It is a
proposal from language authors and thus it bypasses usual
nitpicking process and proceeds straight to requesting
community (your!) feedback.
Essentially, it is an attempt to solve reference lifetime
problem by extending implementation of `scope` keyword.
Proposal text:
https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/blob/master/DIPs/DIP1000.md
Few notes:
- Please submit pull requests to adjust the markdown document
if you want to propose any improvements (mentioning
@WalterBright and @andralex for confirmation).
- The proposal refers to a number of other documents and it is
recommended to become familiar at least briefly with all of
them.
- At this point the question I'd personally suggest to be
evaluated is "does this proposal enable enough useful
designs?". A good check would be to try taking some of your
projects and see if having DIP1000 approved and implemented
could improve them.
There is confusion between what lifetime and visibility in the
DIP.
(Well, I am confused)
I'm a confused by the terminology as well.
lifetime(p) denotes the lifetime of the value which is referred
to by 'p', is that correct? And visibility(p) denotes the
lifetime of 'p' itself?
I found this very confusing...
