Hi all!

is there a way to get all attributes and their types in a class at runtime? Comming from the c# world I'm missing something like meta tags [attributes] - something like reflection. I wonder how this issue can be solved in d?

Perhaps something like this:

import std.stdio;

class A {
  int a;
  float b;
  C c;
}

class C {
  int i;
}

void main() {
  A a = new A;
  foreach (i, attrib; a.tupleof) {
    writefln("attribute ", i, " is of type ", typeid(typeof(attrib)), " and value ", attrib);
  }
}

Output:

attribute 0 is of type int and value 0
attribute 1 is of type float and value nan
attribute 2 is of type attribList.C and value null

Thanx, this seems like a nice solution. I will look into it!
