They already work, except for the concatenation operator
because it obviously requires the GC. And converiting a
pointer from C code to D is easy, because you can slice
pointers just like arrays -it's just that it won't be bounds
checked.
Nice.
But if you want D to be REALLY appealing to a majority of C++
developers, you'd better provide them with the FULL D
experience.
And unfortunately, using builtin arrays/strings/slices/maps in
the usual way is probably a big part for it.
Don't forget that concatenating strings in C++ is perfectly
ALLOWED in C++, WITHOUT using a GC...
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
string str, str1, str2;
str1 = "Hello";
str2 = "World";
str = str1 + " " + str2;
cout << str << endl;
return 0;
}
Recently in my code base where similar concatenation worked fine
in debug mode but crashed in release mode: Win64, VS2017. Worked
fine on Linux, GCC 7.3. Had to use std::ostringstream to resolve
it, or use use .append().
These kind of UB is what makes a language esoteric. C wins the
lot for UBs nevertheless!
