sumtype 0.8.3

A sum type with pattern matching


To use this package, run the following command in your project's root directory:

Manual usage
Put the following dependency into your project's dependences section:

sumtype

A sum type for modern D.

Features

  • Pattern matching, including support for structural matching
  • Self-referential types, using This
  • Works with pure, @safe, @nogc, nothrow, and immutable
  • Zero runtime overhead compared to hand-written C
    • No heap allocation
    • Does not rely on runtime type information (TypeInfo)

Documentation

sumtype uses adrdox to generate its documentation. To build your own copy, run the following command from the root of the sumtype repository:

path/to/adrdox/doc2 --genSearchIndex --genSource -o generated-docs src


Example

import std.math: approxEqual, cos, PI, sqrt;

struct Rectangular { double x, y; }
struct Polar { double r, theta; }
alias Vector = SumType!(Rectangular, Polar);

pure @safe @nogc nothrow
double length(Vector v)
{
    return v.match!(
        rect => sqrt(rect.x^^2 + rect.y^^2),
        polar => polar.r
    );
}

pure @safe @nogc nothrow
double horiz(Vector v)
{
    return v.match!(
        rect => rect.x,
        polar => polar.r * cos(polar.theta)
    );
}

Vector u = Rectangular(1, 1);
Vector v = Polar(1, PI/4);

assert(length(u).approxEqual(sqrt(2.0)));
assert(length(v).approxEqual(1));
assert(horiz(u).approxEqual(1));
assert(horiz(v).approxEqual(sqrt(0.5)));

Installation

If you're using dub, add the sumtype package to your project as a dependency.

Alternatively, since it's a single, self-contained module, you can simply copy sumtype.d to your source directory and compile as usual.
