comptime function that allocs runtime heap pointer (?) | Zig Programming Language | Page 1

#

sorry, i'm going to avoid your actual question and ask: why do this at all?

it seems like you're replacing a few lines + an init function with a bunch of metaprogramming that ultimately amounts to roughly the same thing

e.g. you could just be doing (if you want to keep the ExampleObject heap allocated):

var example = try alloc.create(ExampleObject);
example.* = ExampleObject.init(alloc);
defer {
    ExampleObject.deinit();
    alloc.destroy(example);
}

#

i feel like zig kinda leans into the philosophy of "just write them out by hand"

#

that'd be up to your init function implementation
