https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17979 Issue ID: 17979 Summary: Improve documentation for lazy parameters Product: D Version: D2 Hardware: x86_64 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P1 Component: dlang.org Assignee: nobody puremagic.com Reporter: crimaniak gmail.com Lazy parameters in fact implemented using delegates and affect nogc possibility. I propose additions to documentation: https://dlang.org/spec/function.html#parameters section It needs to write that the delegate is used, and explicitly document what exactly happens in the case of several occurrences of the used parameter - whether the delegate is called each time, or only the first, and then the returned value is used (affects non-pure lazy parameters). https://dlang.org/spec/garbage.html#op_involving_gc It will be useful to mention lazy parameters in this list too. --
