           Summary: TypeInfo comparison allocates memory
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: druntime
        AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: code dawg.eu



The current implementation of TypeInfo.opEquals is very naive. It calls
TypeInfo.toString on both operands and compares the resulting strings. The main
problem is that this allocates memory for each comparison.

Another issue is that it may result in false positive comparisons, e.g. when
comparing .classinfo of a class and it's updated version.

Why is this a false positive? Thats exactly the behavior you want when reloading changed classes at runtime. You want the new reloaded class to take the place of the old one without anything breaking. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------

Because the classinfos might have different vtables and initializers, therefor they should not compare equal. This becomes crucial if you have to deal with both types at the same time. If you want to hotswap an instance you have to serialize and reinstantiate it. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
