I came to D from C++. I remember the following being notable
differences:
- In D, classes have reference semantics. I quickly realized
that this is not an issue because so many of my C++ types were
hand-reference-typified :p by this idiom, almost everywhere:
class C { /* ... */ };
typedef boost::shared_ptr<C> CPtr;
void foo(CPtr c);
This is a common mistake. In 99 percent of cases you want to use
a std::unique_ptr. std::shared_ptr is rarely common and often an
indication of an error in design. In general, there is exactly
one owner only.
But I think you know that already. :)
