Issue ID: 14679
Summary: Parse uninstantiated generic artifacts lazily
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: x86
OS: Mac OS X
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P1
Component: dmd
Assignee: nob...@puremagic.com
Reporter: and...@erdani.com
Unused generics (generic functions, classes, structs, templates, and mixins)
need initially to be parsed only as balanced curlies - not even tokenized. They
get tokenized, parsed, and semantically analyzed only upon first use.
This allows libraries (such as Phobos itself) to provide functionality in
templates at virtually no cost to their users.
