- void*
rt_loadLibrary
(const char*name
); - C interface for Runtime.loadLibrary
- int
rt_unloadLibrary
(void*ptr
); - C interface for Runtime.unloadLibrary, returns 1/0 instead of bool
- int
rt_init
(); - C interface for Runtime.initialize, returns 1/0 instead of bool
- int
rt_term
(); - C interface for Runtime.terminate, returns 1/0 instead of bool
- struct
CArgs
; - Stores the unprocessed arguments supplied when the process was started.
- int
argc
; - The argument count.
- char**
argv
; - The arguments as a C array of strings.
- struct
Runtime
; - This struct encapsulates all functionality related to the underlying runtime module for the calling context.
- static bool
initialize
(); - Initializes the runtime. This call is to be used in instances where the standard program initialization process is not executed. This is most often in shared libraries or in libraries linked to a C program. If the runtime was already successfully initialized this returns
true
. Each call toinitialize
must be paired by a call to terminate.Returns:true
if initialization succeeded orfalse
if initialization failed. - static bool
terminate
(); - Terminates the runtime. This call is to be used in instances where the standard program termination process will not be not executed. This is most often in shared libraries or in libraries linked to a C program. If the runtime was not successfully initialized the function returns
false
.Returns:true
if termination succeeded orfalse
if termination failed. - static @property string[]
args
(); - Returns the arguments supplied when the process was started.Returns:The arguments supplied when this process was started.
- static @nogc @property CArgs
cArgs
(); - Returns the unprocessed C arguments supplied when the process was started. Use this when you need to supply argc and argv to C libraries.Returns:A CArgs struct with the arguments supplied when this process was started.
Example
import core.runtime; // A C library function requiring char** arguments extern(C) void initLibFoo(int argc, char** argv); void main() { auto args = Runtime.cArgs; initLibFoo(args.argc, args.argv); }
- void*
loadLibrary
()(in char[]name
); - Locates a dynamic library with the supplied library
name
and dynamically loads it into the caller's address space. If the library contains a D runtime it will be integrated with the current runtime.Parameters:char[] name
The name
of the dynamic library to load.Returns:A reference to the library ornull
on error. - bool
unloadLibrary
()(void*p
); - Unloads the dynamic library referenced by
p
. If this library contains a D runtime then any necessary finalization or cleanup of that runtime will be performed.Parameters:void* p
A reference to the library to unload. - static @property void
traceHandler
(TraceHandlerh
); - Overrides the default trace mechanism with a user-supplied version. A trace represents the context from which an exception was thrown, and the trace handler will be called when this occurs. The pointer supplied to this routine indicates the base address from which tracing should occur. If the supplied pointer is
null
then the trace routine should determine an appropriate calling context from which to begin the trace.Parameters:TraceHandler h
The new trace handler. Set to null
to use the default handler. - static @property TraceHandler
traceHandler
(); - Gets the current trace handler.Returns:The current trace handler or
null
if none has been set. - static @property void
collectHandler
(CollectHandlerh
); - Overrides the default collect hander with a user-supplied version. This routine will be called for each resource object that is finalized in a non-deterministic manner--typically during a garbage collection cycle. If the supplied routine returns
true
then the object's dtor will called as normal, but if the routine returnsfalse
than the dtor will not be called. The default behavior is for all object dtors to be called.Parameters:CollectHandler h
The new collect handler. Set to null
to use the default handler. - static @property CollectHandler
collectHandler
(); - Gets the current collect handler.Returns:The current collect handler or
null
if none has been set. - static @property void
moduleUnitTester
(ModuleUnitTesterh
); - Overrides the default module unit tester with a user-supplied version. This routine will be called once on program initialization. The return value of this routine indicates to the runtime whether the tests ran without error.Parameters:
ModuleUnitTester h
The new unit tester. Set to null
to use the default unit tester.Example
version (unittest) shared static this() { import core.runtime; Runtime.moduleUnitTester = &customModuleUnitTester; } bool customModuleUnitTester() { import std.stdio; writeln("Using customModuleUnitTester"); // Do the same thing as the default moduleUnitTester: size_t failed = 0; foreach (m; ModuleInfo) { if (m) { auto fp = m.unitTest; if (fp) { try { fp(); } catch (Throwable e) { writeln(e); failed++; } } } } return failed == 0; }
- static @property ModuleUnitTester
moduleUnitTester
(); - Gets the current module unit tester.Returns:The current module unit tester handler or
null
if none has been set.
- void
dmd_coverSourcePath
(stringpath
); - Set source file
path
for coverage reports.Parameters:string path
The new path
name.Note This is a dmd specific setting.
- void
dmd_coverDestPath
(stringpath
); - Set output
path
for coverage reports.Parameters:string path
The new path
name.Note This is a dmd specific setting.
- void
dmd_coverSetMerge
(boolflag
); - Enable merging of coverage reports with existing data.Parameters:
bool flag
enable/disable coverage merge mode Note This is a dmd specific setting.
- void
trace_setlogfilename
(stringname
); - Set the output file
name
for profile reports (-profile switch). An emptyname
will set the output to stdout.Parameters:string name
file name
Note This is a dmd specific setting.
- void
trace_setdeffilename
(stringname
); - Set the output file
name
for the optimized profile linker DEF file (-profile switch). An emptyname
will set the output to stdout.Parameters:string name
file name
Note This is a dmd specific setting.
- void
profilegc_setlogfilename
(stringname
); - Set the output file
name
for memory profile reports (-profile=gc switch). An emptyname
will set the output to stdout.Parameters:string name
file name
Note This is a dmd specific setting.
- bool
runModuleUnitTests
(); - This routine is called by the runtime to run module unit tests on startup. The user-supplied unit tester will be called if one has been supplied, otherwise all unit tests will be run in sequence.Returns:
true
if execution should continue after testing is complete andfalse
if not. Default behavior is to returntrue
. - Throwable.TraceInfo
defaultTraceHandler
(void*ptr
= null);
