D / Memory and Safety

@safe

Learn @safe in D with a construct-specific explanation, unique example, engineering boundary, and mastery check.

10 min read • Advanced

@safe is a focused D topic inside Memory and Safety. This lesson explains the construct itself, the state or value it operates on, and the observable result it produces.

Read the example as a small executable experiment. Identify the exact syntax that belongs to @safe, then change one input and predict the result before running it.

Topic-specific example

d-07-04-safe.d
d Try It Live 
@safe int add(int a,int b){ return a+b; }
Edge case / engineering note

@safe has rules that are easy to miss when the example is copied mechanically. Check the feature-specific boundary shown by this construct: scope, mutability, evaluation order, type constraints, lifetime, error behavior, compile-time restrictions, or resource cleanup where applicable.
