std.traits.Select/select - multiple declarations
Function select
Select one of two functions to run via template parameter.
A select(bool cond : true, A, B)
(
A a,
lazy B b
);
B select(bool cond : false, A, B)
(
lazy A a,
B b
);
Parameters
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| cond | A bool which determines which function is run |
| a | The first function |
| b | The second function |
Returns
a without evaluating b if cond is true.
Otherwise, returns b without evaluating a.
Example
real run() { return 0; }
int fail() { assert(0); }
auto a = select!true(run(), fail());
auto b = select!false(fail(), run());
static assert(is(typeof(a) == real));
static assert(is(typeof(b) == real));
Alias Select
Aliases itself to T[0] if the boolean condition is true
and to T[1] otherwise.
Example
// can select types
static assert(is(Select!(true, int, long) == int));
static assert(is(Select!(false, int, long) == long));
static struct Foo {}
static assert(is(Select!(false, const(int), const(Foo)) == const(Foo)));
// can select symbols
int a = 1;
int b = 2;
alias selA = Select!(true, a, b);
alias selB = Select!(false, a, b);
writeln(selA); // 1
writeln(selB); // 2
// can select (compile-time) expressions
enum val = Select!(false, -4, 9 - 6);
static assert(val == 3);
}
/**

Returns:
