StringExp toUTF8(Scope* sc);

Convert string to char[].

const pure nothrow @nogc int compare(const StringExp se2);

Compare two StringExp by length, then value

The comparison is not the usual C-style comparison as seen with strcmp or memcmp, but instead first compare based on the length. This allows both faster lookup and sorting when comparing sparse data.

This ordering scheme is relied on by the string-switching feature. Code in Druntime's core.internal.switch_ relies on this ordering when doing a binary search among case statements.

Both StringExp should be of the same encoding.

Parameters:

StringExp se2

String expression to compare this to

Returns:

0 when this is equal to se2, a value greater than 0 if this should be considered greater than se2, and a value less than 0 if this is lesser than se2.

ubyte[] borrowData();

void setData(void* s, size_t len, ubyte sz);

Set new string data. this becomes the new owner of the data.

class DotExp: dmd.expression.BinExp;

class CommaExp: dmd.expression.BinExp;

const bool isGenerated;

This is needed because AssignExp rewrites CommaExp, hence it needs to trigger the deprecation.

bool allowCommaExp;

Temporary variable to enable / disable deprecation of comma expression depending on the context. Since most constructor calls are rewritting, the only place where false will be passed will be from the parser.

static void allow(Expression exp);

If the argument is a CommaExp, set a flag to prevent deprecation messages

It's impossible to know from CommaExp.semantic if the result will be used, hence when there is a result (type != void), a deprecation message is always emitted. However, some construct can produce a result but won't use it (ExpStatement and for loop increment). Those should call this function to prevent unwanted deprecations to be emitted.

Parameters:

Expression exp

An expression that discards its result. If the argument is null or not a CommaExp, nothing happens.
