Are we still in the same discussion?
I guess we are drifting off. I was just considering some alternatives to
"final(false)" which doesn't work.
The only thing I miss is that among the several ways to
express function signatures in D, some don't allow you to
specify all attributes. My memory is blurry, but I think it
was function literals that I used to write stubs for runtime
loaded library functionality.
[…] though I would prefer avoiding string mixins, maybe by providing a
function type as prototype:
alias export extern(Windows) void function() fnWINAPI;
@functionAttributesOf!fnWINAPI HANDLE GetCurrentProcess();
That is too pragmatic for my taste. Something that you define
in code should be usable as is. It is like taking the picture
of a red corner sofa just to describe the color to someone.
In that specific case, why does this not work for you?:
nothrow extern(Windows) {
HANDLE GetCurrentProcess();
}
The attributes sometimes need to be selected conditionally, e.g. when
building a library for static or dynamic linkage (at least on windows
where not everything is exported by default). Right now, you don't have
an alternative to code duplication or heavy use of string mixins.
