Alias std.traits.getSymbolsByUDA

Gets all symbols within symbol that have the given user-defined attribute. This is not recursive; it will not search for symbols within symbols such as nested structs or unions.

alias getSymbolsByUDA(alias symbol, alias attribute) = AliasSeq!(symbol,membersWithUDA);

Example

enum Attr;

static struct A
{
    @Attr int a;
    int b;
    @Attr void doStuff() {}
    void doOtherStuff() {}
    static struct Inner
    {
        // Not found by getSymbolsByUDA
        @Attr int c;
    }
}

// Finds both variables and functions with the attribute, but
// doesn't include the variables and functions without it.
static assert(getSymbolsByUDA!(A, Attr).length == 2);
// Can access attributes on the symbols returned by getSymbolsByUDA.
static assert(hasUDA!(getSymbolsByUDA!(A, Attr)[0], Attr));
static assert(hasUDA!(getSymbolsByUDA!(A, Attr)[1], Attr));

static struct UDA { string name; }

static struct B
{
    @UDA("X")
    int x;
    @UDA("Y")
    int y;
    @(100)
    int z;
}

// Finds both UDA attributes.
static assert(getSymbolsByUDA!(B, UDA).length == 2);
// Finds one `100` attribute.
static assert(getSymbolsByUDA!(B, 100).length == 1);
// Can get the value of the UDA from the return value
static assert(getUDAs!(getSymbolsByUDA!(B, UDA)[0], UDA)[0].name == "X");

@UDA("A")
static struct C
{
    @UDA("B")
    int d;
}

// Also checks the symbol itself
static assert(getSymbolsByUDA!(C, UDA).length == 2);
static assert(getSymbolsByUDA!(C, UDA)[0].stringof == "C");
static assert(getSymbolsByUDA!(C, UDA)[1].stringof == "d");

static struct D
{
    int x;
}

//Finds nothing if there is no member with specific UDA
static assert(getSymbolsByUDA!(D,UDA).length == 0);

Example

enum Attr;
struct A
{
    alias INT = int;
    alias void function(INT) SomeFunction;
    @Attr int a;
    int b;
}

static assert(getSymbolsByUDA!(A, Attr).length == 1);
static assert(hasUDA!(getSymbolsByUDA!(A, Attr)[0], Attr));
