March 26, 2014 is there any trait to check if variable is __gshared? | ||||

is there any trait to check if variable is __gshared? typeof() for '__gshared int' returns just 'int', whereas for 'shared int' it returns 'shared(int)'. can i check for __gshared storage class somehow? |

Posted in reply to ketmar | I don't think so. Since __gshared isn't part of the type (unlike shared), you can't check for it with is(typeof()) and .stringof is only giving me the name. |

There isn't. It could be added to D if there's a significant reason. Why do you need it?

But why do you need to avoid the thread-local ones while crating your wrappers? (If your need is real, you can ask for the trait in the main D newsgroup).

'cause i need only 'old-style' globals in my console. there is no guarantee from which thread console command will be executed, and i don't really need TLS vars in it. that is the 'tech requirement'. > (If your need is real, you can ask for the trait in the main D newsgroup). alas, i can't really explain why this is necessary for everyone (to be included in language). except that if we have such powerfull metaprogramming abilities we should be able to access any piece of 'type definition' (ok, technically __gshared is an attribute, i think) info that compiler knows. i think that '__gshared' should be part of type info, just like 'shared' is. variable can't be both 'shared' and '__gshared' anyway. i'll think about asking that though. |

Is the -vtls compiler switch enough?

The JSON output with -X will also tell you if it is gshared.
But in both cases you'd have to run the compiler twice and read the output instead of just getting the info at compile time from inside D.

it's calling the external utility. i can use full blown D parser than. what i want is to be able to do that thing in compile time, just with metaprogramming.

Please file this as an enhancement request to bugzilla[1]. Thanks! [1] : https://d.puremagic.com/issues/enter_bug.cgi?product=D |
