Hello, everyone
I would say that disallowing uninitialized variables is a great
way increase correctness in a program. Still, I can't seem to
find a way to force my members/variables to always be
initialized. See, for example:
class Enemy{
int strength;
int health;
this(int strength){ /*oops, forgot to ask for health*/)
this.strength = strength;
}
}
void main(){
Enemy enemy1; //enemy1 is null, which is asking for a
segfault/null pointer exception
auto enemy2 = new Enemy(123); //enemy2 starts with health == 0
}
Am I missing something here? Or is there no way to have
initialization be guaranteed by the compiler? I know that
uninitialized variables will be set to their respective .init,
but that doesn't help me at all when I add something to a class
and forget to put initialization code into the constructor.
Thank you,
Tomaz
