Iain Buclaw <ibuc...@gdcproject.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |WONTFIX --- Comment #2 from Iain Buclaw <ibuc...@gdcproject.org> --- This is the crux of the problem why we do what we do (snipped, shortened, and with added clarity from std.exception). ---- private void bailOut() { assert(false); } public T enforce(T value) { if (!value) bailOut(); return value; } ---- When compiling the module, 'private bailOut' is would be seen as unused, and so considered as a candidate for removal. However, external modules that instantiate 'public enforce' would indirectly need bailOut to exist. I am aware that the spec says that 'private' in D is equivalent to 'static' in C, but in practice, that it just doesn't work that way. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
