That's what I used in datetime - I made Clock final and used @disable on this() (as opposed to Lars, who made his class both abstract and final), so you can't create it. But since structs _must_ have an init property, I don't see how you can possibly prevent them from being constructed. - Jonathan M Davis _______________________________________________ phobos mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puremagic.com/mailman/listinfo/phobos
