The 'this' in a class is a pointer, since classes are reference types (like the 'this' pointer in C++) so you can cast it to a void* directly. The 'this' in a struct is a value, since structs are value types. So if you want the address of the struct from within one of the struct's methods you need to use the & operator (then it becomes a pointer and you can cast it to a void* .

It would make sense with something like the nodes of a linked list if they needed access to the container for some reason. Pretty much any case where a an instance of a nested class is going to be associated with a specific instance of its parent class and needs access to it would be a canditate. It's not that uncommon to see cases in C++ or Java where you'd pass a pointer to the "parent" to an instance of a nested class when it's created, and having outer built-in is kind of like that. Personally, I've never had a use for it. I don't even use classes much in D, since I rarely need inheritance. And as I understand it, most D programs don't use classes very heavily for that very reason. So, I have no idea how common it is to use nested classes in this manner, but I expect that someone has found it useful at some point. I thought that this meaning of static for nested classes came from Java, but it's been a while since I've done much with Java, so I don't know. - Jonathan M Davis

A static, nested class does not have access to the class that it's in. It's basically a normal class that's namespaced within another class, whereas non-static, nested class is associated with a specific instance of the class and has access to that class instance via its outer member. https://dlang.org/spec/class.html#nested http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/nested.html Similarly, if a struct, class, or function is nested within a function, and it is not marked with static, then it has access to the function that it's in, whereas if it's marked with static, then it acts more like a normal struct/class/function and does not have access to the function that it's in and is just namespaced within that function. - Jonathan M Davis

betterC and noboundscheck
Hello. I try compile simple example: import core.stdc.stdio; import std.algorithm : min; extern (C) void main() { char[256] buf; buf[] = '\0'; auto str = "hello world"; auto ln = min(buf.length, str.length); buf[0..ln] = str[0..ln]; printf("%s\n", buf.ptr); } rdmd -betterC bettercarray2.d and get error: /tmp/.rdmd-1000/rdmd-bettercarray2.d-435C14EC3DAF09FFABF8ED6919B624C1/objs/bettercarray2.o: In function `main': bettercarray2.d:(.text.main[main]+0xbc): undefined reference to `_d_arraycopy' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status Error: linker exited with status 1 If I understand correctly _d_arraycopy is part of druntime and it check bounds of array access. If I add -noboundscheck flag all works fine. dmd version is 2.076.1 Why -betterC flag not 'include' -noboundscheck flag? It's bug or in some cases it's useful?

Passing this to void *
I am a C++ game developer and I want to give it a try. It seems "this" in Dlang is a reference instead of pointer. How can I pass it as void *? void foo(void *); class Pizza { public: this() { Pizza newone = this; // works but newone is actually not this pizza. foo(); // this does not work.. foo(this); } } void main() { Pizza pizza = new Pizza(); // this works... foo(); }
Re: writeln, alias this and dynamic arrays.
Thank you all for the helpful responses. I will read more about ranges.

If you want to search for a specific element in an array than use std.algorithm.find or std.algorithm.canFind. - Jonathan M Davis
Re: interfacing c++
22.11.2017 02:12, Markus пишет: snip I could do the instancing/destruction by functions and write a custom d class that calls these methods in this()/~this(). This is what I used to do as special members like ctor/dtor did not supported in D before, but your example of using ctor is interesting. What about dtor - you allocate class using D GC but try to destroy it manually - namely this I guess gives you an error in rt_finalize2 because it tries to destroy object that has been destroyed.
