           Summary: __traits: no way to get overloads and information for
                    non-instance methods
           Product: D
           Version: 2.027
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla@digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: dhasenan@gmail.com


Given a UDT and a constructor or a static method, I want to use __traits to access overloads of that constructor or static method.

__traits provides allMembers, which returns static and non-static functions and non-static constructors. It also provides getVirtualFunctions, which provides overloads for non-static functions. There is no equivalent to getVirtualFunctions for constructors or static functions.

This patch adds traits:
isStaticFunction
getStaticFunctions
getOverloads

This doesn't handle constructors, but it does handle static functions.

test cases

I don't know what the preferred format is for the DMD test suite. (Hint hint.) So I did something reasonable.

In point of fact, this does handle constructors:
__traits(getOverloads, T, "__ctor")
