July 15, 2019 bolts meta programming library version 1.0.0 - including the from idiom | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
I've been using a set of meta tools for a while now, so decided to release it as 1.0.0 with a few enhancements chucked on. Two of the highlights are the non-eponymous "member" and "iz" templates, which are shown below with some code. The library also includes the "from" template because I tend to use that everywhere. Docs: https://aliak00.github.io/bolts/bolts.html Github: https://github.com/aliak00/bolts Package: https://code.dlang.org/packages/bolts Current issues include: 1) that I'm not completely sure about the behaviour of the copy-constructor traits - I've decided to pretend post blots don't exist and marked the library as requiring dmd frontend 2.086 and above. 2) It's an ongoing battle with D to normalize parameters because traits return tuples, or string, or tuples of strings, or alias tuples, etc. And some traits take symbols, while others take strings, etc. One of the goals is to make this library a little more consistent and try and keep it that way. I will break things to make things consistent (is my intention). 3) Naming - e.g. why are some things in std.meta capitalized (i.e. Filter) and others camel-cased with a static prefix - i.e. staticMap? What would be the consistent thing to do? I currently have a staticZip in there, should it just be Zip? Some sample code: unittest { import bolts; int i; class C { void f0() {} int f1(int) { return 0; } } static struct S { void f0() {} int f1(int) { return 0; } @property void set(int) {} } pragma(msg, from.std.allSatisfy!(iz!int.of, 3, 4, int, i)); // true pragma(msg, from.std.Filter!(isNullable, int*, C, S)); // (int*, C) // Member functions pragma(msg, memberFunctionsOf!S.asStrings); // tuple("f0", "f1") pragma(msg, memberFunctionsOf!C.asAliases); // tuple(f0, f1, toString, toHash, opCmp, opEquals, factory) // member template pragma(msg, member!(S, "f0").exists); // true pragma(msg, member!(S, "f0").protection); // public pragma(msg, member!(S, "f0").isProperty); // false pragma(msg, member!(S, "set").propertySemantics); // PropertySemantics.w // iz template static struct OldS { this(this) {} } static struct NewS { this(ref NewS s) {} } pragma(msg, iz!S.triviallyCopyConstructable); // yes pragma(msg, iz!OldS.triviallyCopyConstructable); // no because post-blit pragma(msg, iz!OldS.copyConstructable); // no because post blit pragma(msg, iz!NewS.copyConstructable); // yes pragma(msg, iz!NewS.nonTriviallyCopyConstructable); // yes // meta fun with packs and zip { alias a = AliasPack!(1, 2, 3); alias b = AliasPack!(4, 5, 6); alias c = AliasPack!(7, 8, 9); alias d = staticZip!(a, b, c); static assert(d.length == 3); static assert(d.Unpack[0].equals!(1, 4, 7)); static assert(d.Unpack[1].equals!(2, 5, 8)); static assert(d.Unpack[2].equals!(3, 6, 9)); static assert(AliasPack!(d.UnpackDeep).equals!(1, 4, 7, 2, 5, 8, 3, 6, 9)); } } Cheers, - Ali |

Nice! I'm working on something similar but with a different goal.

Thanks! How’s the thing similar and what’s the goal (if you don’t mind me asking)?

Similar: One-stop shop for reflection unifying the disparate APIs.
Goal: allow "regular" code for reflection purposes by (also) returning everything as strings.

Is this related to the talk Andrei gave at a recent dconf?

Looks nice. Though, I see it has some problems that stuck me before. The traits isFunctionOver and isUnaryOver can't handle lambdas that receive arguments by ref like:
struct S {}
static assert(isFunctionOver!((ref s) => s, S));
I wish ref was part of the type in D, so we could pass ref S as template parameters. I could pass as string but it's error prone and not really elegant.

Ooh! Thanks!
