std.experimental.checkedint
This module defines facilities for efficient checking of integral operations
against overflow, casting with loss of precision, unexpected change of sign,
etc. The checking (and possibly correction) can be done at operation level, for
example opChecked!"+"(x, y, overflow) adds two integrals x and
y and sets overflow to true if an overflow occurred. The flag overflow
(a bool passed by reference) is not touched if the operation succeeded, so the
same flag can be reused for a sequence of operations and tested at the end.
Issuing individual checked operations is flexible and efficient but often
tedious. The Checked facility offers encapsulated integral wrappers that
do all checking internally and have configurable behavior upon erroneous
results. For example, Checked!int is a type that behaves like int but aborts
execution immediately whenever involved in an operation that produces the
arithmetically wrong result. The accompanying convenience function checked uses type deduction to convert a value x of integral type T to
Checked!T by means of checked(x). For example:
These policies may be used alone, e.g. Checked!(uint, WithNaN) defines a
uint-like type that reaches a stable NaN state for all erroneous operations.
They may also be "stacked" on top of each other, owing to the property that a
checked integral emulates an actual integral, which means another checked
integral can be built on top of it. Some combinations of interest include:
The hook's members are looked up statically in a Design by Introspection manner
and are all optional. The table below illustrates the members that a hook type
may define and their influence over the behavior of the Checked type using it.
In the table, hook is an alias for Hook if the type Hook does not
introduce any state, or an object of type Hook otherwise.
void main() { import std.experimental.checkedint, std.stdio; writeln((checked(5) + 7).get); // 12 writeln((checked(10) * 1000 * 1000 * 1000).get); // Overflow }Similarly, checked(-1) > uint(0) aborts execution (even though the built-in comparison int(-1) > uint(0) is surprisingly true due to language's conversion rules modeled after C). Thus, Checked!int is a virtually drop-in replacement for int useable in debug builds, to be replaced by int in release mode if efficiency demands it. Checked has customizable behavior with the help of a second type parameter, Hook. Depending on what methods Hook defines, core operations on the underlying integral may be verified for overflow or completely redefined. If Hook defines no method at all and carries no state, there is no change in behavior, i.e. Checked!(int, void) is a wrapper around int that adds no customization at all. This module provides a few predefined hooks (below) that add useful behavior to Checked:
Abort | fails every incorrect operation with a message to std.stdio. stderr followed by a call to assert(0). It is the default second parameter, i.e. Checked!short is the same as Checked!(short, Abort). |
Throw | fails every incorrect operation by throwing an exception. |
Warn | prints incorrect operations to std.stdio.stderr but otherwise preserves the built-in behavior. |
ProperCompare | fixes the comparison operators ==, !=, <, <=, >, and >= to return correct results in all circumstances, at a slight cost in efficiency. For example, Checked!(uint, ProperCompare)(1) > -1 is true, which is not the case for the built-in comparison. Also, comparing numbers for equality with floating-point numbers only passes if the integral can be converted to the floating-point number precisely, so as to preserve transitivity of equality. |
WithNaN | reserves a special "Not a Number" (NaN) value akin to the homonym value reserved for floating-point values. Once a Checked!(X, WithNaN) gets this special value, it preserves and propagates it until reassigned. isNaN can be used to query whether the object is not a number. |
Saturate | implements saturating arithmetic, i.e. Checked!(int, Saturate) "stops" at int.max for all operations that would cause an int to overflow toward infinity, and at int.min for all operations that would correspondingly overflow toward negative infinity. |
Checked!(Checked!int, ProperCompare) |
defines an int with fixed comparison operators that will fail with assert(0) upon overflow. (Recall that Abort is the default policy.) The order in which policies are combined is important because the outermost policy (ProperCompare in this case) has the first crack at intercepting an operator. The converse combination Checked!(Checked!(int, ProperCompare)) is meaningless because Abort will intercept comparison and will fail without giving ProperCompare a chance to intervene. |
Checked!(Checked!(int, ProperCompare), WithNaN) |
defines an int-like type that supports a NaN value. For values that are not NaN, comparison works properly. Again the composition order is important; Checked!(Checked!(int, WithNaN), ProperCompare) does not have good semantics because ProperCompare intercepts comparisons before the numbers involved are tested for NaN. |
Hook member | Semantics in Checked!(T, Hook) |
---|---|
defaultValue | If defined, Hook.defaultValue!T is used as the default initializer of the payload. |
min | If defined, Hook.min!T is used as the minimum value of the payload. |
max | If defined, Hook.max!T is used as the maximum value of the payload. |
hookOpCast | If defined, hook.hookOpCast!U(get) is forwarded to unconditionally when the payload is to be cast to type U. |
onBadCast | If defined and hookOpCast is not defined, onBadCast!U(get) is forwarded to when the payload is to be cast to type U and the cast would lose information or force a change of sign. |
hookOpEquals | If defined, hook.hookOpEquals(get, rhs) is forwarded to unconditionally when the payload is compared for equality against value rhs of integral, floating point, or Boolean type. |
hookOpCmp | If defined, hook.hookOpCmp(get, rhs) is forwarded to unconditionally when the payload is compared for ordering against value rhs of integral, floating point, or Boolean type. |
hookOpUnary | If defined, hook.hookOpUnary!op(get) (where op is the operator symbol) is forwarded to for unary operators - and ~. In addition, for unary operators ++ and --, hook.hookOpUnary!op(payload) is called, where payload is a reference to the value wrapped by Checked so the hook can change it. |
hookOpBinary | If defined, hook.hookOpBinary!op(get, rhs) (where op is the operator symbol and rhs is the right-hand side operand) is forwarded to unconditionally for binary operators +, -, *, /, %, ^^, &, |, ^, <<, >>, and >>>. |
hookOpBinaryRight | If defined, hook.hookOpBinaryRight!op(lhs, get) (where op is the operator symbol and lhs is the left-hand side operand) is forwarded to unconditionally for binary operators +, -, *, /, %, ^^, &, |, ^, <<, >>, and >>>. |
onOverflow | If defined, hook.onOverflow!op(get) is forwarded to for unary operators that overflow but only if hookOpUnary is not defined. Unary ~ does not overflow; unary - overflows only when the most negative value of a signed type is negated, and the result of the hook call is returned. When the increment or decrement operators overflow, the payload is assigned the result of hook.onOverflow!op(get). When a binary operator overflows, the result of hook.onOverflow!op(get, rhs) is returned, but only if Hook does not define hookOpBinary. |
hookOpOpAssign | If defined, hook.hookOpOpAssign!op(payload, rhs) (where op is the operator symbol and rhs is the right-hand side operand) is forwarded to unconditionally for binary operators +=, -=, *=, /=, %=, ^^=, &=, |=, ^=, <<=, >>=, and >>>=. |
onLowerBound | If defined, hook.onLowerBound(value, bound) (where value is the value being assigned) is forwarded to when the result of binary operators +=, -=, *=, /=, %=, ^^=, &=, |=, ^=, <<=, >>=, and >>>= is smaller than the smallest value representable by T. |
onUpperBound | If defined, hook.onUpperBound(value, bound) (where value is the value being assigned) is forwarded to when the result of binary operators +=, -=, *=, /=, %=, ^^=, &=, |=, ^=, <<=, >>=, and >>>= is larger than the largest value representable by T. |
hookToHash | If defined, hook.hookToHash(payload) (where payload is a reference to the value wrapped by Checked) is forwarded to when toHash is called on a Checked type. Custom hashing can be implemented in a Hook, otherwise the built-in hashing is used. |
Examples:
int[] concatAndAdd(int[] a, int[] b, int offset) { // Aborts on overflow on size computation auto r = new int[(checked(a.length) + b.length).get]; // Aborts on overflow on element computation foreach (i; 0 .. a.length) r[i] = (a[i] + checked(offset)).get; foreach (i; 0 .. b.length) r[i + a.length] = (b[i] + checked(offset)).get; return r; } writeln(concatAndAdd([1, 2, 3], [4, 5], -1)); // [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
Examples:
Saturate stops at an overflow
auto x = (cast(byte) 127).checked!Saturate; writeln(x); // 127 x++; writeln(x); // 127
Examples:
WithNaN has a special "Not a Number" (NaN) value akin to the homonym value reserved for floating-point values
auto x = 100.checked!WithNaN; writeln(x); // 100 x /= 0; assert(x.isNaN);
Examples:
ProperCompare fixes the comparison operators ==, !=, <, <=, >, and >= to return correct results
uint x = 1; auto y = x.checked!ProperCompare; assert(x < -1); // built-in comparison assert(y > -1); // ProperCompare
Examples:
Throw fails every incorrect operation by throwing an exception
import std.exception : assertThrown; auto x = -1.checked!Throw; assertThrown(x / 0); assertThrown(x + int.min); assertThrown(x == uint.max);

if (valueConvertible!(U, T) || !isIntegral!T && is(typeof(T(rhs

- U
opCast
(U, this _)()
if (isIntegral!U || isFloatingPoint!U || is(U == bool)); - Casting operator to integral, bool, or floating point type. If Hook defines hookOpCast, the call immediately returns hook.hookOpCast!U(get). Otherwise, casting to bool yields get != 0 and casting to another integral that can represent all values of T returns get promoted to U.If a cast to a floating-point type is requested and Hook defines onBadCast, the cast is verified by ensuring get == cast(T) U(get). If that is not true, hook.onBadCast!U(get) is returned. If a cast to an integral type is requested and Hook defines onBadCast, the cast is verified by ensuring get and cast(U) get are the same arithmetic number. (Note that int(-1) and uint(1) are different values arithmetically although they have the same bitwise representation and compare equal by language rules.) If the numbers are not arithmetically equal, hook.onBadCast!U(get) is returned.Examples:
writeln(cast(uint)checked(42)); // 42 writeln(cast(uint)checked!WithNaN(-42)); // uint.max

(U, this _)(Urhs
)
if (isIntegral!U || isFloatingPoint!U || is(U == bool) || is(U == Checked!(V, W), V, W) && is(typeof(this ==rhs

rhs
for equality. If Hook defines hookOpEquals, the function forwards to hook.hookOpEquals(get, rhs). Otherwise, the result of the built-in operation get == rhs is returned.If U is also an instance of Checked, both hooks (left- and right-hand side) are introspected for the method hookOpEquals. If both define it, priority is given to the left-hand side.Examples:static struct MyHook { static bool thereWereErrors; static bool hookOpEquals(L, R)(L lhs, R rhs) { if (lhs != rhs) return false; static if (isUnsigned!L && !isUnsigned!R) { if (lhs > 0 && rhs < 0) thereWereErrors = true; } else static if (isUnsigned!R && !isUnsigned!L) if (lhs < 0 && rhs > 0) thereWereErrors = true; // Preserve built-in behavior. return true; } } auto a = checked!MyHook(-42); writeln(a); // uint(-42) assert(MyHook.thereWereErrors); MyHook.thereWereErrors = false; writeln(checked!MyHook(uint(-42))); // -42 assert(MyHook.thereWereErrors); static struct MyHook2 { static bool hookOpEquals(L, R)(L lhs, R rhs) { return lhs == rhs; } } MyHook.thereWereErrors = false; writeln(checked!MyHook2(uint(-42))); // a // Hook on left hand side takes precedence, so no errors assert(!MyHook.thereWereErrors);
- const nothrow @safe size_t
toHash
(); - Generates a hash for this. If Hook defines hookToHash, the call immediately returns hook.hookToHash(payload). If Hook does not implement hookToHash, but it has state, a hash will be generated for the Hook using the built-in function and it will be xored with the hash of the payload.

autoopCmp
(U, Hook1, this _)(Checked!(U, Hook1)rhs
); - Compares this against
rhs
for ordering. If Hook defines hookOpCmp, the function forwards to hook.hookOpCmp(get, rhs). Otherwise, the result of the built-in comparison operation is returned.If U is also an instance of Checked, both hooks (left- and right-hand side) are introspected for the method hookOpCmp. If both define it, priority is given to the left-hand side.Examples:static struct MyHook { static bool thereWereErrors; static int hookOpCmp(L, R)(L lhs, R rhs) { static if (isUnsigned!L && !isUnsigned!R) { if (rhs < 0 && rhs >= lhs) thereWereErrors = true; } else static if (isUnsigned!R && !isUnsigned!L) { if (lhs < 0 && lhs >= rhs) thereWereErrors = true; } // Preserve built-in behavior. return lhs < rhs ? -1 : lhs > rhs; } } auto a = checked!MyHook(-42); assert(a > uint(42)); assert(MyHook.thereWereErrors); static struct MyHook2 { static int hookOpCmp(L, R)(L lhs, R rhs) { // Default behavior return lhs < rhs ? -1 : lhs > rhs; } } MyHook.thereWereErrors = false; assert(Checked!(uint, MyHook2)(uint(-42)) <= a); //assert(Checked!(uint, MyHook2)(uint(-42)) >= a); // Hook on left hand side takes precedence, so no errors assert(!MyHook.thereWereErrors); assert(a <= Checked!(uint, MyHook2)(uint(-42))); assert(MyHook.thereWereErrors);

if (op == "+" || op == "-" || op == "~");
ref CheckedopUnary
(string op)() return
if (op == "++" || op == "--"); - Defines unary operators +, -, ~, ++, and --. Unary + is not overridable and always has built-in behavior (returns this). For the others, if Hook defines hookOpUnary,
opUnary
forwards to Checked!(typeof(hook.hookOpUnary!op(get)), Hook)(hook.hookOpUnary!op(get)).If Hook does not define hookOpUnary but defines onOverflow,opUnary
forwards to hook.onOverflow!op(get) in case an overflow occurs. For ++ and --, the payload is assigned from the result of the call to onOverflow. Note that unary - is considered to overflow if T is a signed integral of 32 or 64 bits and is equal to the most negative value. This is because that value has no positive negation.Examples:static struct MyHook { static bool thereWereErrors; static L hookOpUnary(string x, L)(L lhs) { if (x == "-" && lhs == -lhs) thereWereErrors = true; return -lhs; } } auto a = checked!MyHook(long.min); writeln(a); // -a assert(MyHook.thereWereErrors); auto b = checked!void(42); writeln(++b); // 43

forwards to hook.onOverflow!op(get,rhs

ref CheckedopOpAssign

) return
if (is(Rhs == Checked!(RhsT, RhsHook), RhsT, RhsHook)); - Defines operators +=, -=, *=, /=, %=, ^^=, &=, |=, ^=, <<=, >>=, and >>>=.If Hook defines hookOpOpAssign,
opOpAssign
forwards to hook.hookOpOpAssign!op(payload,rhs
), where payload is a reference to the internally held data so the hook can change it. Otherwise, the operator first evaluates auto result = opBinary!op(payload, rhs).payload, which is subject to the hooks in opBinary. Then, if result is less than Checked!(T, Hook).min and if Hook defines onLowerBound, the payload is assigned from hook.onLowerBound(result, min). If result is greater than Checked!(T, Hook).max and if Hook defines onUpperBound, the payload is assigned from hook.onUpperBound(result, min). If the right-hand side is also a Checked but with a different hook or underlying type, the hook and underlying type of this Checked takes precedence. In all other cases, the built-in behavior is carried out.Parameters:op The operator involved (without the "=", e.g. "+" for "+=" etc) Rhs rhs
The right-hand side of the operator (left-hand side is this) Returns:A reference to this.Examples:static struct MyHook { static bool thereWereErrors; static T onLowerBound(Rhs, T)(Rhs rhs, T bound) { thereWereErrors = true; return bound; } static T onUpperBound(Rhs, T)(Rhs rhs, T bound) { thereWereErrors = true; return bound; } } auto x = checked!MyHook(byte.min); x -= 1; assert(MyHook.thereWereErrors); MyHook.thereWereErrors = false; x = byte.max; x += 1; assert(MyHook.thereWereErrors);

(Lhs, Rhs)(Lhslhs
, Rhsrhs
); - Called automatically upon a comparison for ordering using one of the operators <, <=, >, or >=. In case the comparison is erroneous (i.e. it would make a signed negative value appear greater than or equal to an unsigned positive value), then a warning message is printed to stderr.Parameters:
Lhs lhs
The first argument of Checked, e.g. int if the left-hand side of the operator is Checked!int Rhs rhs
The right-hand side type involved in the operator Returns:In all cases, returns lhs < rhs ? -1 : lhs > rhs. The result is not autocorrected in case of an erroneous comparison.Examples:auto x = checked!Warn(-42); // Passes assert(x <= -42); // Passes but prints a warning // assert(x <= uint(-42));
- typeof(~Lhs())
onOverflow
(string x, Lhs)(ref Lhslhs
);
typeof(Lhs() + Rhs())onOverflow
(string x, Lhs, Rhs)(Lhslhs
, Rhsrhs
); - Called automatically upon an overflow during a unary or binary operation.Parameters:
x The operator involved Lhs The first argument of Checked, e.g. int if the left-hand side of the operator is Checked!int Rhs The right-hand side type involved in the operator Returns:mixin(x ~ "lhs") for unary, mixin("lhs" ~ x ~ "rhs") for binary

ProperCompare
; - Hook that provides arithmetically correct comparisons for equality and ordering. Comparing an object of type Checked!(X, ProperCompare) against another integral (for equality or ordering) ensures that no surprising conversions from signed to unsigned integral occur before the comparison. Using Checked!(X, ProperCompare) on either side of a comparison for equality against a floating-point number makes sure the integral can be properly converted to the floating point type, thus making sure equality is transitive.Examples:
alias opEqualsProper = ProperCompare.hookOpEquals; assert(opEqualsProper(42, 42)); assert(opEqualsProper(42.0, 42.0)); assert(opEqualsProper(42u, 42)); assert(opEqualsProper(42, 42u)); writeln(-1); // 4294967295u assert(!opEqualsProper(-1, 4294967295u)); assert(!opEqualsProper(const uint(-1), -1)); assert(!opEqualsProper(uint(-1), -1.0)); writeln(3_000_000_000U); // -1_294_967_296 assert(!opEqualsProper(3_000_000_000U, -1_294_967_296));
- bool
hookOpEquals
(L, R)(Llhs
, Rrhs
); - Hook for == and != that ensures comparison against integral values has the behavior expected by the usual arithmetic rules. The built-in semantics yield surprising behavior when comparing signed values against unsigned values for equality, for example uint.max == -1 or -1_294_967_296 == 3_000_000_000u. The call hookOpEquals(x, y) returns true if and only if x and y represent the same arithmetic number.If one of the numbers is an integral and the other is a floating-point number, hookOpEquals(x, y) returns true if and only if the integral can be converted exactly (without approximation) to the floating-point number. This is in order to preserve transitivity of equality: if hookOpEquals(x, y) and hookOpEquals(y, z) then hookOpEquals(y, z), in case x, y, and z are a mix of integral and floating-point numbers.Parameters:
L lhs
The left-hand side of the comparison for equality R rhs
The right-hand side of the comparison for equality Returns:The result of the comparison, true if the values are equal - auto
hookOpCmp
(L, R)(Llhs
, Rrhs
); - Hook for <, <=, >, and >= that ensures comparison against integral values has the behavior expected by the usual arithmetic rules. The built-in semantics yield surprising behavior when comparing signed values against unsigned values, for example 0u < -1. The call hookOpCmp(x, y) returns -1 if and only if x is smaller than y in abstract arithmetic sense.If one of the numbers is an integral and the other is a floating-point number, hookOpEquals(x, y) returns a floating-point number that is -1 if x < y, 0 if x == y, 1 if x > y, and NaN if the floating-point number is NaN.Parameters:
L lhs
The left-hand side of the comparison for ordering R rhs
The right-hand side of the comparison for ordering Returns:The result of the comparison (negative if lhs < rhs, positive if lhs > rhs, 0 if the values are equal)
- struct
WithNaN
; - Hook that reserves a special value as a "Not a Number" representative. For signed integrals, the reserved value is T.min. For signed integrals, the reserved value is T.max.The default value of a Checked!(X, WithNaN) is its NaN value, so care must be taken that all variables are explicitly initialized. Any arithmetic and logic operation involving at least on NaN becomes NaN itself. All of a == b, a < b, a > b, a <= b, a >= b yield false if at least one of a and b is NaN.Examples:
auto x1 = Checked!(int, WithNaN)(); assert(x1.isNaN); writeln(x1.get); // int.min assert(x1 != x1); assert(!(x1 < x1)); assert(!(x1 > x1)); assert(!(x1 == x1)); ++x1; assert(x1.isNaN); writeln(x1.get); // int.min --x1; assert(x1.isNaN); writeln(x1.get); // int.min x1 = 42; assert(!x1.isNaN); writeln(x1); // x1 assert(x1 <= x1); assert(x1 >= x1); static assert(x1.min == int.min + 1); x1 += long(int.max);
- enum T

hookOpUnary
(string x, T)(ref Tv
); - Defines hooks for unary operators -, ~, ++, and --.For - and ~, if v == WithNaN.defaultValue!T, returns WithNaN.defaultValue!T. Otherwise, the semantics is the same as for the built-in operator. For ++ and --, if v == WithNaN.defaultValue!Lhs or the operation would result in an overflow, sets
v
to WithNaN.defaultValue!T. Otherwise, the semantics is the same as for the built-in operator.Parameters:x The operator symbol T v
The left-hand side of the comparison (T is the first argument to Checked) Returns:- For x == "-" || x == "~": If v == WithNaN.defaultValue!T, the function returns WithNaN.defaultValue!T. Otherwise it returns the normal result of the operator.
- For x == "++" || x == "--": The function returns void.

- struct
Saturate
; - Hook that implements saturation, i.e. any arithmetic operation that would overflow leaves the result at its extreme value (min or max depending on the direction of the overflow).Saturation is not sticky; if a value reaches its saturation value, another operation may take it back to normal range.Examples:
auto x = checked!Saturate(int.max); ++x; writeln(x); // int.max --x; writeln(x); // int.max - 1 x = int.min; writeln(-x); // int.max x -= 42; writeln(x); // int.min writeln(x * -2); // int.max

(string x, Lhs, Rhs)(Lhslhs
, Rhsrhs
); - Implements saturation for operators +, - (unary and binary), *, /, %, ^^, &, |, ^, <<, >>, and >>>.For unary -,
onOverflow
is called if lhs == Lhs.min and Lhs is a signed type. The function returns Lhs.max. For binary operators, the result is as follows:- Lhs.max if the result overflows in the positive direction, on division by 0, or on shifting right by a negative value
- Lhs.min if the result overflows in the negative direction
- 0 if
lhs
is being shifted left by a negative value, or shifted right by a large positive value
Parameters:x The operator involved in the opAssign operation Lhs The left-hand side of the operator (Lhs is the first argument to Checked) Rhs The right-hand side type in the operator Returns:The saturated result of the operator.Examples:writeln(checked!Saturate(int.max) + 1); // int.max writeln(checked!Saturate(100)^^10); // int.max writeln(checked!Saturate(-100)^^10); // int.max writeln(checked!Saturate(100) / 0); // int.max writeln(checked!Saturate(100) << -1); // 0 writeln(checked!Saturate(100) << 33); // int.max writeln(checked!Saturate(100) >> -1); // int.max writeln(checked!Saturate(100) >> 33); // 0

opChecked
(string x, L, R)(const Llhs
, const Rrhs
, ref booloverflow
)
if (isIntegral!L && isIntegral!R); - Defines binary operations with overflow checking for any two integral types. The result type obeys the language rules (even when they may be counterintuitive), and
overflow
is set if an overflow occurs (including inadvertent change of signedness, e.g. -1 is converted to uint). Conceptually the behavior is:- Perform the operation in infinite precision
- If the infinite-precision result fits in the result type, return it and
do not touch
overflow
- Otherwise, set
overflow
to true and return an unspecified value
Parameters:x The binary operator involved, e.g. / L lhs
The left-hand side of the operator R rhs
The right-hand side of the operator bool overflow
The overflow indicator (assigned true in case there's an error) Returns:The result of the operation, which is the same as the built-in operatorExamples:bool overflow; assert(opChecked!"+"(const short(1), short(1), overflow) == 2 && !overflow); assert(opChecked!"+"(1, 1, overflow) == 2 && !overflow); assert(opChecked!"+"(1, 1u, overflow) == 2 && !overflow); assert(opChecked!"+"(-1, 1u, overflow) == 0 && !overflow); assert(opChecked!"+"(1u, -1, overflow) == 0 && !overflow);
Examples:bool overflow; assert(opChecked!"-"(1, 1, overflow) == 0 && !overflow); assert(opChecked!"-"(1, 1u, overflow) == 0 && !overflow); assert(opChecked!"-"(1u, -1, overflow) == 2 && !overflow); assert(opChecked!"-"(-1, 1u, overflow) == 0 && overflow);
