Hi,
the confusion starts here: http://dlang.org/function.html#closures
End of paragraph bellow the last delegate example:
"This combining of the environment and the function is called a
dynamic closure."
While according to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scope_%28computer_science%29
"Lexical scope vs. dynamic scope" I would call D delegates
lexical closures, as the scope of the callee (scope where callee
is defined) is used for free variable lookup, isn't that right?
Confusion is enhanced with this Dlang wiki:
http://wiki.dlang.org/Function_literals
"This has brought up the specter of Dynamic Closures. The nested
and/or anonymous functions can only access dynamic scope, which
means scope that exists on the stack at the time of execution.
This differs from lexical scope, which refers to the scope as
indicated by the program text structure."
So what's what now?
Cheers, ParticlePeter
