You can hide the constructor from external code by using "private this()". And you can disable the default constructor via @disable this(); You may also wish to make your fields private as well.You don't necessarily have to make createS() a free function, you can make it a static function inside of S, ala: struct S { @disable this(); static S create(int _i) { return S(_i); } private: int i; this(int i_) { i = i_; } } create() will not occupy any space in any of the S instances. If that doesn't compile it's because I haven't had my coffee yet. :p
very good ... exactly what I wanted :) thanks a lot! christian
