# `default_free_fn` The tracking issue for this feature is: [#73014] [#73014]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/73014 ------------------------ Adds a free `default()` function to the `std::default` module. This function just forwards to [`Default::default()`], but may remove repetition of the word "default" from the call site. [`Default::default()`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/std/default/trait.Default.html#tymethod.default Here is an example: ```rust #![feature(default_free_fn)] use std::default::default; #[derive(Default)] struct AppConfig { foo: FooConfig, bar: BarConfig, } #[derive(Default)] struct FooConfig { foo: i32, } #[derive(Default)] struct BarConfig { bar: f32, baz: u8, } fn main() { let options = AppConfig { foo: default(), bar: BarConfig { bar: 10.1, ..default() }, }; } ```
