Function std.bitmanip.append

Takes an integral value, converts it to the given endianness, and appends it to the given range of ubytes (using put) as a sequence of T.sizeof ubytes starting at index. hasSlicing!R must be true.

void append(T, Endian endianness = Endian.bigEndian, R) (
  R range,
  T value
)
if (canSwapEndianness!T && isOutputRange!(R, ubyte));

Parameters

NameDescription
T The integral type to convert the first T.sizeof bytes to.
endianness The endianness to write the bytes in.
range The range to append to.
value The value to append.

Example

import std.array;
auto buffer = appender!(const ubyte[])();
buffer.append!ushort(261);
writeln(buffer.data); // [1, 5]

buffer.append!uint(369700095u);
writeln(buffer.data); // [1, 5, 22, 9, 44, 255]

buffer.append!ubyte(8);
writeln(buffer.data); // [1, 5, 22, 9, 44, 255, 8]

Example

bool

import std.array : appender;
auto buffer = appender!(const ubyte[])();

buffer.append!bool(true);
writeln(buffer.data); // [1]

buffer.append!bool(false);
writeln(buffer.data); // [1, 0]

Example

char wchar dchar

import std.array : appender;
auto buffer = appender!(const ubyte[])();

buffer.append!char('a');
writeln(buffer.data); // [97]

buffer.append!char('b');
writeln(buffer.data); // [97, 98]

buffer.append!wchar('ą');
writeln(buffer.data); // [97, 98, 1, 5]

buffer.append!dchar('ą');
    writeln(buffer.data); // [97, 98, 1, 5, 0, 0, 1, 5]

Example

float double

import std.array : appender;
auto buffer = appender!(const ubyte[])();

buffer.append!float(32.0f);
writeln(buffer.data); // [66, 0, 0, 0]

buffer.append!double(32.0);
writeln(buffer.data); // [66, 0, 0, 0, 64, 64, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]

Example

enum

import std.array : appender;
auto buffer = appender!(const ubyte[])();

enum Foo
{
    one = 10,
    two = 20,
    three = 30
}

buffer.append!Foo(Foo.one);
writeln(buffer.data); // [0, 0, 0, 10]

buffer.append!Foo(Foo.two);
writeln(buffer.data); // [0, 0, 0, 10, 0, 0, 0, 20]

buffer.append!Foo(Foo.three);
writeln(buffer.data); // [0, 0, 0, 10, 0, 0, 0, 20, 0, 0, 0, 30]

Example

enum - bool

import std.array : appender;
auto buffer = appender!(const ubyte[])();

enum Bool: bool
{
    bfalse = false,
    btrue = true,
}

buffer.append!Bool(Bool.btrue);
writeln(buffer.data); // [1]

buffer.append!Bool(Bool.bfalse);
writeln(buffer.data); // [1, 0]

buffer.append!Bool(Bool.btrue);
writeln(buffer.data); // [1, 0, 1]

Example

enum - float

import std.array : appender;
auto buffer = appender!(const ubyte[])();

enum Float: float
{
    one = 32.0f,
    two = 25.0f
}

buffer.append!Float(Float.one);
writeln(buffer.data); // [66, 0, 0, 0]

buffer.append!Float(Float.two);
writeln(buffer.data); // [66, 0, 0, 0, 65, 200, 0, 0]

Example

enum - double

import std.array : appender;
auto buffer = appender!(const ubyte[])();

enum Double: double
{
    one = 32.0,
    two = 25.0
}

buffer.append!Double(Double.one);
writeln(buffer.data); // [64, 64, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]

buffer.append!Double(Double.two);
writeln(buffer.data); // [64, 64, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 64, 57, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]

Example

enum - real

import std.array : appender;
auto buffer = appender!(const ubyte[])();

enum Real: real
{
    one = 32.0,
    two = 25.0
}

static assert(!__traits(compiles, buffer.append!Real(Real.one)));
