As a side note, I find the syntax quite unfortunate. It reads to me as
if the static constructor will only be called if the default constructor
is used (I know, this does not make sense as the static constructor will
be called before main, and before any non-static constructor). Still, I
wonder why not simply the Java syntax
static {
// ...
}
was adopted.
One reason could be that {} are used for grouping in D. e.g all methods
of this struct are static:
struct foo {
static {
void bar( ) {};
string baz( ) {return "Ouch, you poked me!";}
}
}
