Awesome!
Will this be added to code.dlang.org?
There's a question on reddit regarding performance. I'd guess
performance should be quite good in general, but the simple
example
throws/allocates* Exceptions on missing files. Does this
perform well
enough?
* I guess in this case you could 'cache' the exception in a
global variable, but druntime still allocates the stack trace
(only
once though). Druntime uses some tricks to avoid these
allocations
for OutOfMemory errors and this trick should probably work
for dfuse
as well, but I still wonder if it isn't easier to simply
return a
result code from getattr and readdir.
Hi Johannes,
the choice of using throw for exception was mostly to follow the
python-fuse bindings which we initially used for a prototype. I
agree that we could instead return a value for performance
considerations. However there is a balance of how many errors you
expect and, as far as I am concerned, the more convenient way of
reporting errors using exceptions up the callstack.
