Functions

Name	Description
`checkModifiable(exp, sc, flag)`
`doCopyOrMove(sc, e, t)`	Handle the postblit call on lvalue, or the move of rvalue.
`expandTuples(exps)`	Expand tuples.
`expToVariable(e)`	Given an Expression, find the variable it really is.
`firstComma(e)`	Find the first non-comma expression.
`getFuncTemplateDecl(s)`	If `s` is a function template, i.e. the only member of a template and that member is a function, return that template.
`hasThis(sc)`	Determine if `this` is available by walking up the enclosing scopes until a function is found.
`isAliasThisTuple(e)`	Expand alias this tuples.
`isDefaultInitOp(op)`
`isDotOpDispatch(e)`	check e is exp.opDispatch!(tiargs) or not It's used to switch to UFCS the semantic analysis path
`isNeedThisScope(sc, d)`	Determine if a `this` is needed to access `d`.
`lastComma(e)`	Find the last non-comma expression.
`RealIdentical(x1, x2)`	Test to see if two reals are the same. Regard NaN's as equivalent. Regard +0 and -0 as different.
`typeDotIdExp(loc, type, ident)`	TypeDotIdExp
`valueNoDtor(e)`	If we want the value of this expression, but do not want to call the destructor on it.
