Hi,
I'd like to use a binary heap from @safe code. I thought @safe
is transitive
It tries too but "heapify" uses the struct "BinaryHeap" that is
not safe at all.
(either not annotated or @safe not applicable because of what it
uses in intern: @system stuff)
but the following example does not compile:
import std.container.binaryheap;
@safe // This makes things fail.
unittest
{
// Test range interface.
import std.algorithm.comparison : equal;
int[] a = [4, 1, 3, 2, 16, 9, 10, 14, 8, 7];
auto h = heapify(a);
assert(h.equal([16, 14, 10, 9, 8, 7, 4, 3, 2, 1]));
}
Is there a way to @safely call heapify? How?
No easy "good" way:
1. BinaryHeap is an old container
2. It would require to patch the standard library. So virtually
not available before weeks (but after a quick look it doesn't
seem possible)
There's an easy "bad" way:
import std.container.binaryheap;
@safe // This makes things fail.
unittest
{
void foo() @trusted
{
import std.algorithm.comparison : equal;
int[] a = [4, 1, 3, 2, 16, 9, 10, 14, 8, 7];
auto h = heapify(a);
assert(h.equal([16, 14, 10, 9, 8, 7, 4, 3, 2, 1]));
}
}
but "bad", don't forget ;)
It's a complete cheat to trust here.
