Summary: possible std.stream improvements Product: D Version: D1 & D2 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: Phobos AssignedTo: nob...@puremagic.com ReportedBy: metalcae...@gmail.com --- Comment #0 from Daniel Gibson <metalcae...@gmail.com> 2010-10-06 09:21:40 PDT --- I've got a few suggestions to make std.stream more convenient (and in one case just the documentation more clear). See my NG post [1] for details, I'll just summarize it here: * The documentation claims write( <basic type> ) is implementation specific - this is not true for most types - it's actually platform specific and with the EndianStream most read/write operations can safely be used between different platforms. Especially for the SocketStream this is good to know. * InputStream's read( <type> val ) sometimes is inconvenient, please add something like T read(T)() { T ret; readExact(&ret, ret.sizeof); return ret; } So one can use "myFun( s.read!float );" instead of "float x; s.read(x); myFun(x);" * Minor inconsistencies: add readExact(ubyte[] buf) to Inputstream, because there is a read(ubyte[] buf) and add writeExact(ubyte[] buf) to OutputStream because there is write(ubyte[] buf). * For convenience ubyte[] readExact(size_t len) might be nice.
