  • mangleExact

    Declaration

    const(char)* mangleExact(FuncDeclaration fd);

    Returns exact mangled name of function.

  • mangleToFuncSignature

    Declaration

    void mangleToFuncSignature(ref OutBuffer buf, FuncDeclaration fd);

    Mangle function signatures ('this' qualifier, and parameter types) to check conflicts in function overloads. It's different from fd.type.deco. For example, fd.type.deco would be null if fd is an auto function.

    Parameters

    OutBuffer buf

    OutBuffer to write the mangled function signature to

    FuncDeclaration fd

    FuncDeclaration to mangle

  • isValidMangling

    Declaration

    package nothrow bool isValidMangling(dchar c);

    Return Value

    true if the given character is a valid mangled character

  • decoToType

    Declaration

    Type decoToType(const(char)[] deco);

    Convert a string representing a type (the deco) and return its equivalent Type.

    Parameters

    const(char)[] deco

    string containing the deco

    Return Value

    null for failed to convert Type for succeeded
