digitalmars.D - Another init() bug, can we deprecate yet?
- Peter Alexander (9/9) Jan 07 2015 https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13806
- Brian Schott (4/6) Jan 07 2015 There's a check for that:
- H. S. Teoh via Digitalmars-d (6/18) Jan 07 2015 https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/2854
- Peter Alexander (5/26) Jan 08 2015 Thanks. Just to be clear, I'm advocating deprecating all
- H. S. Teoh via Digitalmars-d (6/30) Jan 08 2015 Yes, but purging it from Phobos first is a first step towards that
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13806 For the lazy: BitArray has an init() method, which hides the property BitArray.init This, or something similar, appears every few months. Walter has said in the past that the ability to override init is a feature. As far as I can tell, no one is using it as a feature; it only seems to cause trouble. Can we just deprecate it? At the very least deprecate functions named init().
