Yikes, this is such an anti-pattern.
https://github.com/rejectedsoftware/vibe.d/issues/634
Heh - yeah it is quite problematic.
The only time I've needed to use it was when I was reading in
Json with some structure like
{
[
{ "timestamp" : { ... timestamp info ... },
"info1" : { ... info ...},
"info2" : { ... info ...},
.
.
"info 23" : { ... info ...}
},
{ < more of the above >}
]
}
and I wanted to be able get a Json[timestamp] map, where the Json
is either a info1, info2 etc etc.
I didn't want to write 23 different functions "hash_info1",
"hash_info2" etc etc.
So, opDispatch!
Basically I wanted to hash the timestamp and some data. My
opDispatch became:
@ignore auto opDispatch(string name)(){
static assert(name.startsWith("hash_"), "Error, use
StatHosts.hash_XYZ to gather XYZ[timestamp] info");
static assert(name.length > 5);
enum dataName = name[5..$];
typeof(mixin("StatDetail."~dataName))[StatTimestampDetail] data;
foreach(stat; statistics){
data[stat.timestamp] = mixin("stat."~dataName);
}
return data;
}
23 functions merged into 1...
The static assert reduces the number of places it can break
things at least, still some weird things can happen but for the
most part it's ok.
So yes - opDispatch is cool but should be used VERY sparingly.

I'll be using this in work for automating the testing of a CLI we're developing that has to run cross platform. There was no easy solution I could find online to do it, so I rolled my own. There's lots of improvements to be made to this, most notably unit testing and a proper script parser to control it. Will be working on those in the near future.

I ran out of my backlog and haven't had the time to write up new ones the last couple weeks because of other obligations eating up all my time (this week, I had to travel for a work thing... then got trapped mid way by that winter storm hitting Baltimore and Philadelphia), so I try to release this with something rather than nothing when that happens. When I have a few extra hours, I'll write up tip or project spotlights for the next month including the UTF decoding in foreach and phobos, moving forward with the little game using my libraries, and whatever else pops up in the chat or something that I feel like talking about. There are a bunch of good tips here: http://p0nce.github.io/d-idioms/ If the author(s) are OK with the idea you could use this as a source of tips for a few weeks. bye, amber Course I'm ok with it. This must have been been updated since I last read it. The first GC paragraph is very good! :)

Improvements to the semantic engine, important fixes: https://github.com/bruno-medeiros/DDT/releases/tag/Release_0.11.0 There has also been some big internal changes lately, so these latest releases might be a bit more buggy than usual. (as exemplified by the regression where code folding and quick-outline were broken :s - and shame on me for taking so long to notice that) This is great, thank you! Just to let you know, in release notice there is the text It is recommended that Recommend re-create project. Im guessing it is meant to be: It is recommended to re-create you're project.

Today's tip is about class destructors, and Project Spotlight makes a return to introduce simpledisplay.d, in the first in what will become a series that walks us through making a bit of a little game in D. (Expect this to not be each week, it takes me a long time to write the project spotlight and I've been very busy lately and expect to continue being busy in the coming weeks. I'll probably try to do it every other week rather than every week.) http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/2uhgzr/this_week_in_d_2015_vision_released_tip_on/ https://twitter.com/adamdruppe/status/562112301248290816 Thanks adam. The simpledisplay.d stuff is very interesting. Must play around with it soon! p.s. Hope the search for your dog went well.

Yes, we found her after she was outside for a week. Lost about 13% of her body weight and had dehydration and hypothermia, but the vet was able to treat it and it looks like she'll make a full recovery over the next month as she puts the weight back on. Great, very glad there was a happy ending!
