Class dmd.mtype.TypeVector

The basetype must be one of: byte[16],ubyte[16],short[8],ushort[8],int[4],uint[4],long[2],ulong[2],float[4],double[2] For AVX: byte[32],ubyte[32],short[16],ushort[16],int[8],uint[8],long[4],ulong[4],float[8],double[4]

class TypeVector
  : Type ;

Methods

NameDescription
addMod Add MODxxxx bits to existing type. We're adding, not replacing, so adding const to a shared type => "shared const"
addSTC Apply STCxxxx bits to existing type. Use *before* semantic analysis is run.
addStorageClass Add storage class modifiers to type.
alignment Return alignment to use for this type.
baseElemOf If this is a type of static array, return its base element type.
castMod Apply MODxxxx bits to existing type.
check Look for bugs in constructing types.
checkComplexTransition
checkDeprecated Check type to see if it is based on a deprecated symbol.
constConv Determine if converting 'this' to 'to' is an identity operation, a conversion to const operation, or the types aren't the same.
constOf Convert to 'const'.
covariant Covariant means that 'this' can substitute for 't', i.e. a pure function is a match for an impure type.
deduceWild Compute MOD bits matching this argument type to wild parameter type.
defaultInitLiteral Use when we prefer the default initializer to be a literal, rather than a global immutable variable.
factory Create instance of class specified by the fully qualified name classname. The class must either have no constructors or have a default constructor.
fixTo For our new type 'this', which is type-constructed from t, fill in the cto, ito, sto, scto, wto shortcuts.
hasPointers Return !=0 if type has pointers that need to be scanned by the GC during a collection cycle.
hasVoidInitPointers Detect if type has pointer fields that are initialized to void. Local stack variables with such void fields can remain uninitialized, leading to pointer bugs.
hasWild Return !=0 if the type or any of its subtypes is wild.
immutableOf Convert to 'immutable'.
implicitConvTo Determine if 'this' can be implicitly converted to type 'to'.
isAssignable When T is mutable,
isBoolean Returns true if T can be converted to boolean value.
merge2 This version does a merge even if the deco is already computed. Necessary for types that have a deco, but are not merged.
modToBuffer Store this type's modifier name into buf.
modToChars Return this type's modifier name.
mutableOf Make type mutable.
needsDestruction true if when type goes out of scope, it needs a destructor applied. Only applies to value types, not ref types.
needsNested
nextOf If this is a type of something, return that something.
nullAttributes Return a copy of this type with all attributes null-initialized. Useful for creating a type with different modifiers.
numberOfElems Compute number of elements for a (possibly multidimensional) static array, or 1 for other types.
opCmp Compare with another Object obj.
opEquals Test whether this is equal to o. The default implementation only compares by identity (using the is operator). Generally, overrides for opEquals should attempt to compare objects by their contents.
resolveExp Normalize e as the result of Type.resolve() process.
sizemask Return the mask that an integral type will fit into.
toBasetype If this is a shell around another type, get that other type.
toChars For pretty-printing a type.
toHash Compute hash function for Object.
toHeadMutable Return type with the top level of it being mutable.
toPrettyChars For pretty-printing a type.
toString
toString Convert Object to a human readable string.
unSharedOf Make type unshared. 0 => 0 const => const immutable => immutable shared => 0 shared const => const wild => wild wild const => wild const shared wild => wild shared wild const => wild const
wildOf Convert to 'wild'.
