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.
Is this what we really want?
This is unavoidable, whether it's a template or not. What changes do you
envision would be transparent using an opaque pImpl model (as was done in
previous versions of phobos), but would break using templates?
