digitalmars.D - functions cannot be const or auto

- popka (2/12) Dec 14 2007 Thanks, both of you. I'll continue using version 1 without this feature ...
- Pedro Ferreira (2/16) Dec 14 2007 Wrong. Check the forums, someone has already ported Derelict to DMD 2.

Hi all,
I'm new to D and I've encountered an error message which is confusing me. I am
trying to write a 'const' member function, i.e. one which does not modify the
object.
If I understand correctly, the D syntax for this is:
class Foo {
const void f() {}
}
However, this gives me the following error:
test.d(2): function test.Foo.f functions cannot be const or auto
I have tried this using both DMD and GDC. What am I doing wrong?
Many thanks.

You're using the D1 compiler, not the D2 compiler. Only D2 has constness.
As far as I know there is no D2-compatible GDC, only DMD.

In D1, the const keyword is used for invariant data. (I'm not making this up! :-) ) I guess Walter was thinking ahead. Anyway, I'm sure that the real problem here is - as /many/ people have pointed out - the default documentation is for D2, but the default download is D1. That's gotta confuse /any/ visitor. (It confused me!)
