Hi all,
Bit new to D so this might be a very naive question...
Can the compiler auto infer function attributes?
I am often adding as many attributes as possible and use the
compiler to show me where they're not applicable and take them
away. It would be great if this could be achieved like so:
auto function() @auto
{}
instead of manually writing:
auto function() pure @safe nothrow @nogc const
{}
cheers,

Only if they're template functions.
//inferred as @safe pure nothrow @nogc
auto fun()() {}
//Compiler treats this is @system impure throwing @gc
//(if the latter three existed)
auto fun() {}
I think Andrei suggested in the past that functions with a return
type of "auto" have attributes inferred for them as well, but
some people were against it, and nobody's tried implementing it
yet.
