TaskLocal disable emplacing init value

[rikkimax]

Long story short I need to prevent TaskLocal from emplacing with its default (given) value.

My solution is basically:

struct TaskLocal(T, bool initWithData=true)

And in storage method:
https://github.com/rejectedsoftware/vibe.d/blob/master/source/vibe/core/core.d#L857

static if (initWithData) {
    emplace!T(data, m_initValue);
} else {
    emplace!T(data);
}

I'm sure there is a better way to do this.

What about adding a field m_hasInitValue that will be set to true only if the appropriate constructor is called, and use that to determine which version of emplace to use?

Just out of interest, why does this case issues for you? Is emplace erroneously trying to call a constructor instead of directly initializing with m_initValue?

Right sorry for late reply chrome didn't update grr.
Basically emplace tries to execute a constructor when it requires things it cannot use.
