Summary: Catch wrong argument<->attribute assignments in methods Product: D Version: D1 & D2 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Keywords: diagnostic Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: DMD AssignedTo: nob...@puremagic.com ReportedBy: bearophile_h...@eml.cc --- Comment #0 from bearophile_h...@eml.cc 2010-06-29 18:15:53 PDT --- This is related to bug 3878 , but it is meant to catch a different kind of bug. In my code I have seen two times bugs like: class Foo { int x, y; this(int x_, int y_) { this.x = x; y = y; } } void main() {} In D.learn Byron Heads has found this bug: http://www.digitalmars.com/webnews/newsgroups.php?art_group=digitalmars.D.learn&article_id=20354 this(string name, string id) { this._name = _name; this._id = id; } So I think the D compiler has to catch such bugs, and refuse such assignments in class/struct member functions. Automatic code generation can sometimes generate useless assignments, but catching common human bugs is more important. It's much simpler to fix code generators than humans. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
