Class `dmd.identifier.Identifier`



class Identifier

  : RootObject
;

Constructors

Name	Description
`this` (name)	Construct an identifier from the given name.
`this` (name, length, value)	Construct an identifier from the given name.

Methods

Name	Description
`generateAnonymousId` (name)	Generates a new anonymous identifier.
`generateId` (prefix)	Generates a new identifier.
`generateId` (prefix, suffix)	Generates a new identifier.
`generateIdWithLoc` (prefix, loc)	Generate deterministic named identifier based on a source location, such that the name is consistent across multiple compilations. A new unique name is generated. If the prefix+location is already in the stringtable, an extra suffix is added (starting the count at "_1").
`idPool` (s, len)	Create an identifier in the string table.
`isValidIdentifier` (str)	Determine if string is a valid Identifier.
`factory` (classname)	Create instance of class specified by the fully qualified name classname. The class must either have no constructors or have a default constructor.
`opCmp` (o)	Compare with another Object obj.
`opEquals` (o)	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.
`toHash` ()	Compute hash function for Object.
`toString` ()
`toString` ()	Convert Object to a human readable string.
