Default opAssign function is described here: http://dlang.org/struct.html. It calls dtor and postblit (if any) which are impure. Even if you mark them pure, you still implicitly call opAssign which is not marked as pure. This can be probably enhanced.


Exactly. I am suggesting that the default opAssign be marked pure, if in fact it is. I think it is. This way we would not need to implement an opAssign and duplicate code to just to get a pure version of opAssign.


Also, in case the answer is no and default implemented opAssign must remain impure, is there a standard way, in a member function to do like:


Are you looking for this http://dpaste.dzfl.pl/7ee27db2 ?

I did not know you could call __postblit - that's cool. So, that is almost it. Ideally I want Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY). If I have implemented a postblit I don't want to duplicate my dups in an opAssign. I just want to invoke the postblit, which you have done, after a proper full blit of S. The only issue is how to actually blit other into this. Instead of manually "blitting" each field, which opens the door for bugs when new fields are added, something more like this, which unfortunately does not compile because of pure.
