Hi!

How do I get past this?


static struct X {
	int x;
	private enum T = 1;
	private alias M = string;
}

foreach (Member; __traits(allMembers, X)) {
	pragma(msg, __traits(getProtection, __traits(getMember, X, Member)));
}


Output:

public
private
c.d(1084): Error: argument string has no protection
c.d(1084):        while evaluating pragma(msg, __traits(getProtection, string))


What I want to achieve essentially is skip all X's aliases and templates, but get everything else, like enums and data members. How would I go about this in a robust way?
I actually want to skip aliases, and templates.

__traits(compiles) is your friend:

unittest {
    static struct X {
        int x;
        private enum T = 1;
        private alias M = string;
    }

    foreach (Member; __traits(allMembers, X)) {
        static if (__traits(compiles, __traits(getProtection, __traits(getMember, X, Member)))) {
            pragma(msg, __traits(getProtection, __traits(getMember, X, Member)));
        }
    }
}

In addition to Simen's answer, you can you std.traits.FieldNameTuple to get only the fields of your struct (which only includes struct members that are actually part of the struct's memory layout):

import std.traits;

static struct X {
	int x;
	private enum T = 1;
	private alias M = string;
}

void main()
{
    foreach (Member; FieldNameTuple!X) {
        pragma(msg, __traits(getProtection, __traits(getMember, X, Member)));
    }
}

This example prints "public" once.
