I just realized some of my code broke because of the (apparent?)
changes to typedef.
I had something like:
extern(Windows) void Foo(HANDLE h);
const HANDLE h = CreateFile(...);
Foo(h);
which now broke because Foo's parameter can no longer be const (since
HANDLE is now an alias for void*, and so const HANDLE means
const(void*), which can't be cast to void*).
Obviously, I can make the variable non-const to solve the problem, but
like, was the change to typedef really necessary? Is there a plan to
get around problems like these in the long term?
Oh FYI, apparently code like this also broke:
HANDLE h;
@property HANDLE handle() const { return h; }
because you can't return const(void*) as void*...
so frustrating. :(
