Miscellaneous general-purpose library modules. Nothing extraordinary.

What it is

API documentation can be found here.

In summary:

  • traits.d: Various traits and cleverness.
mixin template MyMixin()
{
    mixin MixinConstraints!(MixinScope.struct_ | MixinScope.class_);

    void foo() {}

    int i;
}

struct Bar
{
    mixin MyMixin;  // ok
}

class Baz
{
    mixin MyMixin; // also ok
}

void baz()
{
    mixin MyMixin;  // static assert 0, wrong mixin scope type
}
  • meld.d: Melding two structs/classes of the same type into a union set of their members' values. Non-init values overwrite init ones.
struct Foo
{
    string s;
    int i;
}

Foo source;
source.s = "some string";

Foo target;
target.i = 42;

source.meldInto(target);

assert(target.s == "some string");
assert(target.i == 42);
  • objmanip.d: Struct/class manipulation, such as setting a member field by its string name.
struct Foo
{
    string s;
    int i;
    bool b;
    immutable double pi = 3.14;
}

Foo foo;
bool success;

success = foo.setMemberByName("s", "some string");
assert(success);
assert(foo.s == "some string");

success = foo.setMemberByName("i", "42");
assert(success);
assert(foo.i == 42);

success = foo.setMemberByName("b", "true");
assert(success);
assert(foo.b == true);

success = foo.setMemberByName("pi", "3.15");
assert(!success);

success = foo.setMemberByName("i", 999);  // Now works with non-string values
assert(success);
assert(foo.i == 999);
  • deltastrings.d: Expressing the differences between two instances of a struct or class of the same type, as either assignment statements or assert statements.
struct Foo
{
    string s;
    int i;
    bool b;
}

Foo altered;
altered.s = "some string";
altered.i = 42;

Appender!(char[]) sink;

// Generate assignment statements by passing `No.asserts`
sink.formatDeltaInto!(No.asserts)(Foo.init, altered);

asser(sink[] ==
`s = "some string";
i = 42;
`);

sink.clear();

// As above but prepend the name "altered" before the members
sink.formatDeltaInto!(No.asserts)(Foo.init, altered, 0, "altered");

asser(sink[] ==
`altered.s = "some string";
altered.i = 42;
`);

sink.clear();

// Generate assert statements by passing `Yes.asserts`
sink.formatDeltaInto!(Yes.asserts)(Foo.init, altered, 0, "altered");

assert(sink[] ==
`assert((altered.s == "some string"), altered.s);
assert((altered.i == 42), altered.i.to!string);
`);
  • serialisation.d: Functions and templates for serialising structs into an .ini file-like format, with entries and values separated into two columns by whitespace.
struct Foo
{
    string s;
    int i;
    bool b;
    double pi;
}

Foo foo;
foo.s = "some string";
foo.i = 42;
foo.b = true;
foo.pi = 3.14159;

Appender!(char[]) sink;
sink.serialise(foo);
immutable justified = sink[].justifiedEntryValueText;

assert(justified ==
`[Foo]
s               some string
i               42
b               true
pi              3.14159
`);

File file = File("config.conf", "rw");
file.writeln(justified);

// Later...

Foo newFoo;
newFoo.deserialise(readText("config.conf"));

assert(newFoo.s == "some string");
assert(newFoo.i == 42);
assert(newFoo.b == true);
assert(newFoo.pi == 3.14159);
  • string.d: String manipulation functions and templates.
enum line = "Word split by spaces";
string slice = line;  // mutable

immutable first = slice.nom(" ");
assert(first == "Word");

immutable second = slice.nom(" ");
assert(second == "split");

immutable third = slice.nom(" ");
assert(third == "by");

assert(slice == "spaces");

immutable fourth = slice.nom!(Yes.inherit)(" ");
assert(fourth == "spaces");
assert(slice.length == 0);
  • conv.d: Conversion functions and templates.
// Credit for Enum goes to Stephan Koch (https://github.com/UplinkCoder). Used with permission.

enum Foo { abc, def, ghi }

immutable someAbc = Foo.abc;
immutable someDef = Foo.def;
immutable someGhi = Foo.ghi;

assert(Enum!Foo.toString(someAbc) == "abc");
assert(Enum!Foo.toString(someDef) == "def");
assert(Enum!Foo.toString(someGhi) == "ghi");

immutable otherAbc = Enum!Foo.fromString("abc");
immutable otherDef = Enum!Foo.fromString("def");
immutable otherGhi = Enum!Foo.fromString("ghi");
  • json.d: Convenience wrappers around a JSONValue, which can be unwieldy. Not a JSON parser implementation.
  • container.d: Container things, so far only a primitive FIFO Buffer (queue).
  • common.d: Things that don't have a better home yet.
  • numeric.d: Functions and templates that calculate or manipulate numbers in some way.
  • uda.d: Some user-defined attributes used here and there.
