The InputStream and OutputStream interfaces are all but unusable because
they have such a huge number of methods to implements, however most of
them are implemented by the Stream class in a vary abstract way (all
build on 4 or 5 low level methods). This is all well and good until you
want to implement Input/OutputStream with some other class (Thread in my
case)
Why not put all of those function in a pair of mixins? Then anyone who
needs to make a stream like object could just implement the half dozen
low level things and mix in a big chunk of code.
class ThreadStream : InputStream OutputStream Thread
{
mixin InputMixin!();
mixin OutputMixin!();
size_t readBlock(void* buffer, size_t size){...}
size_t writeBlock(void* buffer, size_t size){...}
ulong seek(long offset, SeekPos whence){...}
}
