Some very good names came out of the newsgroup since the last release of DMD for the "shrinkToFit" function that I added recently.
The function makes the size of an allocated array match the given array slice so you can re-use the extra space via appending. It is the equivalent of reducing the length in the old system. The usage was: arr.shrinkToFit(); several posters on the NG (See http://www.digitalmars.com/webnews/newsgroups.php?art_group=digitalmars.D.announce&article_id=17800) suggested some good names. A great suggestion was to follow in the footsteps of assumeUnique, since an assumption is what we are making. The tricky part is to identify what we are assuming. I think these two best capture what the function does: assumeSafeExtend assumeSafeAppend Don came up with the first, I came up with the second as an improvement. Does anyone have any opinions here or other ideas? If not, I'll just use assumeSafeAppend. -Steve _______________________________________________ phobos mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puremagic.com/mailman/listinfo/phobos
