For a class/interface type `A` and a class `C` inheriting from `A` one can do A a = getA(); if (auto c = cast(C) a) { .. use c .. } to get a `C` view on `a` if it happens to be a `C`-instance. Sometimes one cannot find a good new name for `c` while there is no advantage of accessing

One can do BigInt n = returnsBigInt(); foreach (i; BigInt(0) .. n) { .. } How is this implemented? The code for BigInt is very large and I didn't find it. And is it more efficient than for (BigInt i = 0; i < n; ++i) { .. } as incrementing is a costly operation?

Why don't Function Lambdas Cast to Delegate?

2016-11-21 Thread Q. Schroll via Digitalmars-d-learn
Why don't lambdas cast to a delegate if they are of type R function(Args)? I don't see any reason to that; a lambda should be a delegate type by default, and a function only as a special guarantee/optimization. It just makes them cumbersome to use with toDelegate. Probably there is a good
