Members

Aliases

EnumLength
deprecated alias EnumLength = enumLength
Undocumented in source.
ExpandNumericType
alias ExpandNumericType(T, uint additionalBits) = ResizeNumericType!(T, valueBits!T + additionalBits)

Expand to a built-in numeric type of the same kind (signed integer / unsigned integer / floating-point) with at least additionalBits more bits of precision.

GenerateContructorProxies
deprecated alias GenerateContructorProxies = GenerateConstructorProxies
Undocumented in source.
I
alias I(alias A) = A

Shorter synonym for std.traits.Identity. Can be used to UFCS-chain static methods and nested functions.

IsDebug
deprecated alias IsDebug = isDebug
Undocumented in source.

Functions

functor
auto functor()

Create a functor value type (bound struct) from an alias.

identity
T identity(T value)

Identity function.

progn
Args[$ - 1] progn(Args args)

Evaluate all arguments and return the last argument. Can be used instead of the comma operator. Inspired by http://clhs.lisp.se/Body/s_progn.htm

Manifest constants

HAVE_UDA
enum HAVE_UDA;
Undocumented in source.
isDebug
enum isDebug;
Undocumented in source.
isDebug
enum isDebug;
Undocumented in source.

Mixin templates

FieldList
mixintemplate FieldList(Fields...)

Like std.typecons.Tuple, but a template mixin. Unlike std.typecons.Tuple, names may not be omitted - but repeating types may be.

GenerateConstructorProxies
mixintemplate GenerateConstructorProxies()

Generate constructors that simply call the parent class constructors. Based on http://forum.dlang.org/post/i3hpj0$2vc6$1@digitalmars.com

Properties

enumIota
auto enumIota [@property getter]

A range that iterates over all members of an enum.

isHomogenous
bool isHomogenous [@property getter]

Return true if all of T's fields are the same type.

singleton
T singleton [@property getter]

Generate a @property function which creates/returns a thread-local singleton of a class with the given arguments.

structFields
string[] structFields [@property getter]

Evaluates to array of strings with name for each field.

Static functions

findParameter
size_t findParameter()
size_t findParameter(string[] searchedNames, string soughtNames, string funName)

Returns the index of fun's parameter with the name matching "names", or asserts if the parameter is not found. "names" can contain multiple names separated by slashes.

Templates

ArrayToTuple
template ArrayToTuple(alias arr, Elements...)

Expand an array to a tuple. The array value must be known during compilation.

CTIterate
template CTIterate(alias A)

Return something to foreach over optimally. If A is known at compile-time, return a tuple, so the foreach is unrolled at compile-time. Otherwise, return A for a regular runtime foreach.

GenFieldList
template GenFieldList(T, Fields...)
Undocumented in source.
RangeTuple
template RangeTuple(size_t N)

Generate a tuple containing integers from 0 to N-1. Useful for static loop unrolling. (staticIota)

RangeTupleImpl
template RangeTupleImpl(size_t N, R...)
Undocumented in source.
ResizeNumericType
template ResizeNumericType(T, uint bits)

Expand to a built-in numeric type of the same kind (signed integer / unsigned integer / floating-point) with at least the indicated number of bits of precision.

SignedBitsType
template SignedBitsType(uint bits)
Undocumented in source.
UnsignedBitsType
template UnsignedBitsType(uint bits)

Unsigned integer type big enough to fit N bits of precision.

ValueTuple
template ValueTuple(T...)

Same as TypeTuple, but meant to be used with values.

enumLength
template enumLength(T)

One past the biggest element of the enum T.

expand
template expand(alias arr, size_t offset = 0)

Expand a static array to a tuple. Unlike ArrayToTuple, the array may be a runtime variable.

findValueOfTypeInTuple
template findValueOfTypeInTuple(X, T...)
Undocumented in source.
getAttribute
template getAttribute(T, alias D)
Undocumented in source.
getAttribute
template getAttribute(T, alias D)
Undocumented in source.
hasAttribute
template hasAttribute(Args...)

Detects types and values of the given type

hasAttribute
template hasAttribute(T, alias D)
Undocumented in source.
isValueOfTypeInTuple
template isValueOfTypeInTuple(X, T...)
Undocumented in source.
isVersion
template isVersion(string versionName)

Is a specific version on?

stringofArray
template stringofArray(Args...)
Undocumented in source.
structFun
template structFun(S)

Generates a function which passes its arguments to a struct, which is returned. Preserves field names (as parameter names) and default values.

thisOf
template thisOf(alias f)

Get f's ancestor which represents its "this" pointer. Skips template and mixin ancestors until it finds a struct or class.

valueBits
template valueBits(T)

Return the number of bits used to store the value part, i.e. T.sizeof*8 for integer parts and the mantissa size for floating-point types.
