I'm writing a template for generating data of some possibly immutable
type -- e.g., a string. What I'm wondering is, is there some way of
accessing the mutable version of an immutable type?
I mean, I could do something like (for strings and related immutable arrays)...
void func(T)(ref immutable(T)[] arg) {
T[] res;
...
arg = cast(immutable(T)[]) res;
}
But it would be useful to be able to write the same template for both
mutable and immutable types, and just use something like
void func(T)(ref T arg) {
mutable(T) res;
...
arg = cast(T) res;
}
Is there something like that? (E.g., a template in Phobos or
something.) I guess I could do a match with an is() expression to
extract the type, perhaps.
