Thanks for the info, that clears things up. Like I said, it was
more experimentation rather than me planning to actually use
it. Works now with the following modifications.
import std.stdio;
import core.stdc.stdlib;
import std.conv;
void main()
{
auto f = cast(File*) malloc(File.sizeof);
emplace!File(f, "test.txt", "r");
f.readln.write;
free(f);
}
(*f).readln.writeln;
That * is unnecessary btw, in D you can
f.readln
and it will see it is a pointer to struct and dereference it
for you.
That's what I had originally, but I put the * in to see if it
would help with the original issue and never removed it
FYI, File is a reference counted FILE* so theres not really any
point of heap allocating it.
