Enum member std.conv.octal

The octal facility provides a means to declare a number in base 8. Using octal!177 or octal!"177" for 127 represented in octal (same as 0177 in C).

enum octal(string num) = octal!int(num);
enum octal(alias decimalInteger) = octal!(typeof(decimalInteger))(to!string(decimalInteger));

The rules for strings are the usual for literals: If it can fit in an int, it is an int. Otherwise, it is a long. But, if the user specifically asks for a long with the L suffix, always give the long. Give an unsigned iff it is asked for with the U or u suffix. Octals created from integers preserve the type of the passed-in integral.

parse for parsing octal strings at runtime.

Example

// same as 0177
auto x = octal!177;
// octal is a compile-time device
enum y = octal!160;
// Create an unsigned octal
auto z = octal!"1_000_000u";
