Hi all,
My AA implementation is slowly inching closer to being ready to
replace aaA.d. So far I've been writing the implementation
outside of object_.d for ease of testing & development; now I'm
ready to start moving stuff into object_.d to start working on
integration with druntime.
Hi,
If I'm understanding this correctly you are moving the entire
implementation of the AA into object.d and as such letting
programs be purview to its inner working? In sort meaning you
are making the entire AA implementation D ABI locked.
This will make it impossible to either change the AA
implementation in any ABI breaking fashion or make it impossible
to pass AA's between libraries compiled against different
versions of druntime.
I will just point out that the major point of ABI is to make sure
different D compiler produce compatible object code. Thus it makes AA
implementation locked already anyway, right?
Is this what we really want?
Cheers, Jakob.
