Foo f = new Foo();
some_function(NotNull!Foo(f)); <-explicit conversion and because
it's a struct it's better to deliver it by ref.
// ---
Foo f = new Foo();
some_function(f);
// ...
void some_function(Foo f) in {
assert(f !is null);
} body {
^--- explicit. Unnecessary write effort.
A struct as solution to avoid not null references is a bad
solution. It is a nice play tool but as solution it is crap. To
pack my object into a struct with ensures that it is not null,
what's the difference if i use only structs and avoid classes?
Why should i initialize first my object and put it then into a
struct if i can even use only structs?
That isn't comprehensible to me.
