digitalmars.D - Can getHash be made pure?

Still chugging away at implementing AA's in druntime proper, I reviewed
the code for methods that can be marked pure but ran into a major road
block: getHash() is not marked pure. That makes a lot of AA methods
impure, that could, and probably should, be marked pure.

Is it possible to make TypeInfo.getHash() pure? AFAICT there's no good
reason why it shouldn't be pure. Am I missing something?

It should be const, pure, nothrow, safe.

Hmph. I tried to make getHash() const pure nothrow safe, but found that in some places it calls toHash() which isn't marked const pure nothrow safe. So I fixed that as well, then found that toHash() calls toString() which isn't pure, nothrow, nor safe... and before I knew it, I was deep into marking a *lot* of druntime functions (as perhaps they *should* be), and then I ran into this: src/object_.d(648): Error: function object.TypeInfo_AssociativeArray.next () is not callable using argument types () src/object_.d(648): Error: function object.TypeInfo_AssociativeArray.next () is not callable using argument types () src/object_.d(759): Error: function object.TypeInfo_Class.info () is not callable using argument types () src/object_.d(1334): Error: cannot uniquely infer foreach argument types src/core/runtime.d(483): Error: cannot uniquely infer foreach argument types make: *** [lib/libdruntime-linux32.a] Error 1 I'm not sure how to proceed from here. A related question though: have we implemented automatic propagation of attributes like pure/nothrow/etc., yet? Just wondering if I can just modify the base class and have the attributes propagate, or I have to search for every override of every affected function in order to mark them (as I have been doing -- just wanted to make sure it isn't for nothing).

Yeah, I know, it's viral. Can't do it piecemeal.

For 2.059, yes.

[...] Not that hard. Just search for toString in Object, and add qualifiers to it, then compile. You'll find a ton of errors caused by propagated qualifiers. Fix those, and you'll find more, ad nauseaum. After a few iterations of this, I found myself labelling almost every method in Object, TypeInfo, and a whole bunch of other places. I'll need to sit down someday to properly and thoroughly do this. Currently my git branch is uncompilable due to a couple o' nasty places, and I'm ready to throw in the towel. :-( Maybe I'll just finish up the actual AA implementation first, then come back to revisit pure/nothrow/const/ safe after the code itself is actually working.

That sounds like the best possible strategy. -- - Alex

At least safe 'leak' could be temporarily plugged with trusted. -- Dmitry Olshansky
