new class { } - feature. I.e. You can do the following:

class Foo {
 int bar() { return 5; }
}

auto x = new class Foo {
  int bar() { return 6; }
  int foo() { return 7; }
};

then x will hold an object of a class derived from Foo.


Say I have a contstruct like this:

class Dispatcher {
 // ...
}

class Base {
  Dispatcher dispatcher;
}

class Something : Base {
  this() {
    dispatcher = new class Dispatcher {
      void foo() {
        // XXX
      }
    };
  }
} // class Something


Now I want to access the "outer this" i.e. the instance of Something at
the line I marked with XXX. Is this possible without a temporary
variable that "renames" the outer this?
(simply 'this' would refer to the inner, i.e. the object foo is a
method of.)

Nested class instances have an .outer property, for example:

class Something : Base {
   this() {
     dispatcher = new class Dispatcher {
       void foo() {
         this.outer.bar();
       }
     };
   }
   void bar() {}
}
