Eric:
The following code does not compile:
class Foo { int x; }
class Bar { static Foo f = new Foo(); } // compiler error
static Foo g = new Foo(); // compiler error
void main() {}
(dmd7) desk3:~/tp/d_test2/dlib>dmd T.d
T.d(4): Error: variable T.Bar.f is mutable. Only const or
immutable class thread local variable are allowed, not T.Foo
T.d(5): Error: variable T.g is mutable. Only const or immutable
class thread local variable are allowed, not T.Foo
Why aren't static class instances allowed? Is there a
work-around,
or alternative approach to this?
C# compilers present bugs with a standard number, like:
myprog.cs(7,60): error CS1525: .......
This is useful because you can then write an explanation page for
each of those bugs, like CS1525:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/3hdyz4dw%28v=vs.80%29.aspx
In such pages you can explain why Only const or immutable class
thread local variable are allowed.
Bye,
