Functions

NameDescription
attributesApply(tf, dg, trustFormat) For each active attribute (ref/const/nogc/etc) call fp with a void* for the work param and a string representation of the attribute.
isAggregate(t) If the type is a class or struct, returns the symbol for it, else null.
isCopyable(t) Determine if type t is copyable.
isIndexableNonAggregate(t) Determine if type t can be indexed or sliced given that it is not an aggregate with operator overloads.
isSomeChar(ty) Returns true if ty is char, wchar, or dchar
modifiersApply(tf, dg) For each active modifier (MODFlags.const_, MODFlags.immutable_, etc) call fp with a void* for the work param and a string representation of the attribute.
MODimplicitConv(modfrom, modto) Return !=0 if modfrom can be implicitly converted to modto
MODmerge(mod1, mod2) Merge mod bits to form common mod.
MODmethodConv(modfrom, modto) Return MATCH.exact or MATCH.constant if a method of type '() modfrom' can call a method of type '() modto'.
MODtoBuffer(buf, mod) Store modifier name into buf.
MODtoChars(mod)
ModToStc(mod) Convert MODxxxx to STCxxx
MODtoString(mod)
toAutoQualChars(t1, t2) For printing two types with qualification when necessary.

Classes

TypeArray
TypeBasic
TypeClass
TypeDArray Dynamic array, no dimension
TypeDelegate
TypeEnum
TypeError
TypeFunction
TypeIdentifier
TypeInstance Similar to TypeIdentifier, but with a TemplateInstance as the root
TypeMixin Implements mixin types.
TypeNext

TypeSArray Static array, one with a fixed dimension
TypeSlice This is so we can slice a TypeTuple
TypeStruct
TypeTraits This is a shell containing a TraitsExp that can be either resolved to a type or to a symbol.
TypeTuple
TypeTypeof
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]

Structs

NameDescription
ParameterList Represents a function's formal parameters + variadics info. Length, indexing and iteration are based on a depth-first tuple expansion.

Enums

NameDescription
DotExpFlag dotExp() bit flags
VarArg Variadic argument lists
