I hereby open up again the discussion about auto ref.
There are only some questions: Will auto ref be implemented
in the near
future or not?
Yes. We are actively looking into a complete solution. Along
the way we also very strongly want to define semantics of
"ref" in such a way that makes unsafe escapes impossible.
These two features are related.
Wouldn't it be nice if such thing would be settled BEFORE
breaking quite a lot of code when changing this behavior in
2.061 ?
Absolute agreement.
While it is true that structs are not lvalues, but to fix this
known bug, without implement a solution for rvalue references was
a really bad idea.
This bug was so long tolerated because we hadn't a solution for
rvalue references. So it would be good to know, why it was fixed
this time, although we have still no rvalue refs.
