Summary: Make the GC functions weakly pure Product: D Version: D2 Platform: Other OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P4 Component: druntime AssignedTo: nob...@puremagic.com ReportedBy: kenn...@gmail.com Blocks: 4850 --- Comment #0 from kenn...@gmail.com 2011-06-12 13:09:53 PDT --- Original discussion: * http://www.digitalmars.com/d/archives/digitalmars/D/Should_GC.malloc_be_considered_pure_137919.html * http://www.digitalmars.com/d/archives/digitalmars/D/Re_Should_GC.malloc_be_considered_pure_137984.html * http://www.digitalmars.com/d/archives/digitalmars/D/Re_Should_GC.malloc_be_considered_pure_138177.html Due to practicality, allocation is allowed in pure function. By the same token, GC.malloc should also be 'pure'. GC functions being not weakly-pure is the reason why std.conv.to (bug 4850) and std.array.appender cannot be pure. Marking the GC functions are pure are easy, but the problem is the implication behind it. Technically, GC functions depend on global states, so they cannot be weakly pure. But then std.array.appender can never become pure without sacrificing performance. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
