Variadic Function Arguments Lifetime

Explore the lifetime issues associated with variadic function arguments in D programming. Understand why temporary arrays created for these arguments are short-lived and how storing slices from them can lead to bugs. Learn strategies to safely handle variadic parameters by copying elements when necessary or using function overloading to distinguish between variadic arguments and proper slices.

We'll cover the following...

The short lifetime of variadic function arguments

The slice argument that is automatically generated for a variadic parameter points at a temporary array that has a short lifetime. This does not matter if the function uses the arguments ...
