rcClass

Constructs a new reference-counted instance of C. (An external factory function is used instead of static opCall to avoid conflicting with the class's non-static opCall.)

Constructors

	static class C

}

import std.meta : AliasSeq;
foreach (haveArglessCtor; AliasSeq!(false, true))
	foreach (haveArgCtor; AliasSeq!(false, true))
		ctorTest!(haveArglessCtor, haveArgCtor);

Lifetime

static class C
{
	static int counter;

	this() { counter++; }
	~this() { counter--; }
}

{
	auto a = rcClass!C();
	assert(C.counter == 1);
	auto b = a;
	assert(C.counter == 1);
}
assert(C.counter == 0);

Inheritance

static class Base
{
	int foo() { return 1; }
}

static class Derived : Base
{
	override int foo() { return 2; }
}

auto derived = rcClass!Derived();
RCClass!Base base = derived; // initialization
base = derived;              // assignment
static assert(!is(typeof(derived = base)));
auto base2 = cast(RCClass!Base)derived;

Non-static opCall

static class C
{
	int calls;
	void opCall() { calls++; }
}

auto c = rcClass!C();
assert(c.calls == 0);
c();
assert(c.calls == 1);
