How can i check that a type is a struct at compile time? I know i can test for a class like this:

static if(is(T == class))
{
    ...
}

But how to do the same thing for a struct?

Same thing but with struct: is(T == struct)

Note that this returns false for things like 'int'.

Ex:

struct Foo { }

void foo(T)(T inst) {
	static if(is(T == struct))
		writeln(T.stringof, " is a struct");
	else
		writeln(T.stringof, " is NOT a struct");
}

void main() {
	Foo a;
	foo(a);
	foo(3);
}

--

Foo is a struct
int is NOT a struct

static if(is(T == struct))
{
}
