std.datetime.date.CmpTimeUnits/cmpTimeUnits - multiple declarations

Function cmpTimeUnits

Compares two time unit strings. "years" are the largest units and "hnsecs" are the smallest.

int cmpTimeUnits (
  string lhs,
  string rhs
) pure @safe;

Returns

this < rhs < 0
this == rhs 0
this > rhs > 0

Throws

DateTimeException if either of the given strings is not a valid time unit string.

Example

import std.exception : assertThrown;

writeln(cmpTimeUnits("hours", "hours")); // 0
assert(cmpTimeUnits("hours", "weeks") < 0);
assert(cmpTimeUnits("months", "seconds") > 0);

assertThrown!DateTimeException(cmpTimeUnits("month", "second"));

Enum member CmpTimeUnits

Compares two time unit strings at compile time. "years" are the largest units and "hnsecs" are the smallest.

enum CmpTimeUnits(string lhs, string rhs) = cmpTimeUnitsCTFE(lhs, rhs);

This template is used instead of cmpTimeUnits because exceptions can't be thrown at compile time and cmpTimeUnits must enforce that the strings it's given are valid time unit strings. This template uses a template constraint instead.

Returns

this < rhs < 0
this == rhs 0
this > rhs > 0

Example

static assert(CmpTimeUnits!("years", "weeks") > 0);
static assert(CmpTimeUnits!("days", "days") == 0);
static assert(CmpTimeUnits!("seconds", "hours") < 0);
