Issue ID: 18604
Summary: in parameter storage class should be deprecated
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P1
Component: dmd
Assignee: nob...@puremagic.com
Reporter: greensunn...@gmail.com
`in` currently just means `const` even though it was supposed to mean `scope
const`. This makes it redundant and confusing and should be deprecated. Maybe
after it has been deprecated and been an error for one version, it can be
re-introduced with the proper meaning, but for now it should definitely trigger
a deprecation warning.
> Walter: I don't think we can fix in. It may break an astonishing amount of
> code, since it was never enforced.
