There are several ways to do that. In addition to
onOutOfMemoryError, you can use a static instance
void v() @nogc nothrow
{
__gshared oom = new OutOfMemoryError();
auto X* = X_create();
if (X is null)
throw oom;
}
How is that better than
void v() @nogc nothrow
{
auto X* = X_create();
if (X is null)
onOutOfMemoryError();
}
considering the fact that accessing `__gshared` state is neither
`@safe` nor `pure`? Which, in turn, makes `v()` unconditionally
unsafe and unpure regardless of safety and purity of `X_create()`.
