Alias Quirks

Takes thing and tries to apply a list of functions and templates to it. All that compile can be accessed using property syntax on the resulting alias.

The code for this is generated during compile-time using traits and mixins. Below is a list of properties that are possible to access (note not all will be available for every instantiation):

• attributes
• fields -> see Fields
• functionAttributes -> see FunctionAttributes
• isAggregate -> see isAggregate
• isArray -> see isArray
• isAssociativeArray -> see isAssociativeArray
• isBasic -> see isBasic
• isModule -> see isModule
• isNested
• isNumeric -> see isNumeric
• isSomeString -> see isSomeString
• isStatic -> see isStatic
• memberNames -> see MemberNames
• members -> see Members
• methods -> see Methods
• name
• parameters -> see Parameters
• qualifiedName
• returnType
• simpleType -> see SimpleTypeOf
• type

In addition, the following properties that require a template parameter are also available:

• fieldsFilter(alias predicate) -> returns the fields property filtered with the given predicate
• getUDAs(alias uda) -> returns the same as getUDAs from std.traits
• getUDA(alias uda) -> returns the first result returned by getUDAs
• hasField(alias predicate) -> see hasField
• hasMember(alias predicate) -> see hasMember
• hasMethod(alias predicate) -> see hasMethod
• hasUDA(alias uda) -> return the same as hasUDA from std.traits
• isInstanceOf(alias templ) -> see isInstanceOf
• membersFilter(alias predicate) -> returns the members property filtered with the given predicate
• methodsFilter(alias predicate) -> returns the methods property filtered with the given predicate

Example

struct S {
    static long id;
    int age;
    static string name() {
        return "name";
    }
    void update(bool force) { }
}

Quirks!S.type; // S
Quirks!S.fields.length; // 2
Quirks!S.methods[1].name; //update
Quirks!S.isArray; // false
Quirks!S.methods[1].parameters[0].type; // bool
