digitalmars.D.learn - Capturing a variable by value?

reply ZombineDev <valid_email he.re> writes:
C++11 allows you to capture a local variable explicitly by value.

What is the simplest way to make code below print "0 1 .. 9", 
like the C++ version does?

D version:
```
import std.stdio;

void main()
{
     alias F = void delegate();
	
     F[] arr;
	
     foreach (i; 0 .. 10)
         arr ~= { write(i, " "); };
			
     foreach (f; arr)
         f();
}
```
Prints: 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9


C++ version:
```
#include <iostream>
#include <functional>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
     using F = function<void()>;

     vector<F> arr;

     for (auto i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
         arr.push_back([=]() { cout << i << " "; });

     for (auto f : arr)
         f();
}
```
Prints: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

One stupid solution is to replace `0 .. 10` with staticIota!(0, 
10), which would unroll the loop at CT, but I want something more 
general that would me allow me to capture the values of a range 
while iterating over it at run-time.

Another approach: import std.range, std.array, std.stdio; struct InputRangeHook(T, alias Fun) if (isInputRange!T) { private T _t; this(T t) { _t = t; } void popFront() { Fun(front()); _t.popFront; } bool empty() { return _t.empty(); } auto front() { return _t.front; } } void main() { foreach(i; InputRangeHook!(int[],(a) {write(a," ");})(iota(0,10).array)){} }

I find it more readable to give a name like makeClosure(): foreach (i; 0 .. 10) { auto makeClosure = (int a) { return { write(a, " "); }; }; arr ~= makeClosure(i); } Of course, makeClosure() can be moved out of the loop if needed. Ali
