simple question about function call syntax

2014-08-18 Thread Nikolay via Digitalmars-d-learn 

I found this code sample in vibe:

void connect(NetworkAddress addr)
{
		enforce(.connect(m_ctx.socketfd, addr.sockAddr, 
addr.sockAddrLen) == 0, Failed to connect UDP 
socket.~to!string(getLastSocketError()));

}

What does mean .connect? Where I can find description of this 
syntax (dot + function name)?

. is the module-scope. Use it to dis-ambiguate between a 
module-global symbol and a function local symbol with same name.

Yes I found it. Correct link:

my link is correct too. ;-)

  Identifier is looked up at module scope, rather than the current
  lexically nested scope.

but your is better.
