Class `dmd.attrib.ForwardingAttribDeclaration`

Collection of declarations that stores foreach index variables in a local symbol table. Other symbols declared within are forwarded to another scope, like:


						
				class ForwardingAttribDeclaration
				
  : AttribDeclaration
				;

static foreach (i; 0 .. 10) // loop variables for different indices do not conflict. { // this body is expanded into 10 ForwardingAttribDeclarations, where i has storage class STC.local mixin("enum x" ~ to!string(i) ~ " = i"); // ok, can access current loop variable }

static foreach (i; 0.. 10) { pragma(msg, mixin("x" ~ to!string(i))); // ok, all 10 symbols are visible as they were forwarded to the global scope }

static assert (!is(typeof(i))); // loop index variable is not visible outside of the static foreach loop

A StaticForeachDeclaration generates one ForwardingAttribDeclaration for each expansion of its body. The AST of the ForwardingAttribDeclaration contains both the `static foreach variables and the respective copy of the static foreach` body. The functionality is achieved by using a ForwardingScopeDsymbol as the parent symbol for the generated declarations.

Fields

Name	Type	Description
`decl`	`dmd.root.array.Array!(dmd.dsymbol.Dsymbol)*`	Dsymbol's affected by this AttribDeclaration
`localNum`	`ushort`	perturb mangled name to avoid collisions with those in FuncDeclaration.localsymtab

Methods

Name	Description
`addMember` (sc, sds)	Lazily initializes the scope to forward to.
`newScope` (sc)	Use the ForwardingScopeDsymbol as the parent symbol for members.
`accept` (v)
`addComment` (comment)	Add documentation comment to Dsymbol. Ignore NULL comments.
`addLocalClass` (aclasses)
`arraySyntaxCopy` (a)	Do syntax copy of an array of Dsymbol's.
`comment` ()	get documentation comment for this Dsymbol
`createNewScope` (sc, stc, linkage, cppmangle, visibility, explicitVisibility, aligndecl, inlining)	Create a new scope if one or more given attributes are different from the sc's. If the returned scope != sc, the caller should pop the scope after it used.
`ddocUnittest` ()	Get ddoc unittest associated with this symbol. (only use this with ddoc)
`ddocUnittest` (utd)	Set ddoc unittest associated with this symbol.
`deinitialize` ()	Deinitializes the global state of the compiler.
`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.
`followInstantiationContext` (p1, p2)	Returns true if any of the symbols `p1` or `p2` resides in the enclosing instantiation scope of `this`.
`getAccessModule` ()	Determine which Module a Dsymbol is in, as far as access rights go.
`getModule` ()	Determine which Module a Dsymbol is in.
`hasPointers` ()	Is Dsymbol a variable that contains pointers?
`inNonRoot` ()	Returns true if this symbol is defined in a non-root module without instantiation.
`isCsymbol` ()	Does this Dsymbol come from a C file?
`isMember` ()	Returns an AggregateDeclaration when toParent() is that.
`isMember2` ()	Returns an AggregateDeclaration when toParent2() is that.
`isMemberDecl` ()	Returns an AggregateDeclaration when toParentDecl() is that.
`isMemberLocal` ()	Returns an AggregateDeclaration when toParentLocal() is that.
`oneMember` (ps, ident)	Determine if this symbol is only one.
`oneMembers` (members, ps, ident)	Same as Dsymbol::oneMember(), but look at an array of Dsymbols.
`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 and overloads for `opEquals` should attempt to compare objects by their contents. A class will most likely want to add an overload that takes your specific type as the argument and does the content comparison. Then you can override this and forward it to your specific typed overload with a cast. Remember to check for `null` on the typed overload.
`pastMixin` ()	`pastMixin` returns the enclosing symbol if this is a template mixin.
`search` (loc, ident, flags)	Search for ident as member of s.
`searchX` (loc, sc, id, flags)	Search for identifier id as a member of `this`. `id` may be a template instance.
`setScope` (sc)	Set scope for future semantic analysis so we can deal better with forward references.
`size` (loc)
`syntaxCopy` (s)	Copy the syntax. Used for template instantiations. If s is NULL, allocate the new object, otherwise fill it in.
`toAlias` ()	If this symbol is really an alias for another, return that other. If needed, semantic() is invoked due to resolve forward reference.
`toAlias2` ()	Resolve recursive tuple expansion in eponymous template.
`toHash` ()	Compute hash function for Object.
`toParent` ()	`parent` field returns a lexically enclosing scope symbol this is a member of.
`toParent2` ()	`parent` field returns a lexically enclosing scope symbol this is a member of.
`toParentDecl` ()	`parent` field returns a lexically enclosing scope symbol this is a member of.
`toParentLocal` ()	`parent` field returns a lexically enclosing scope symbol this is a member of.
`toParentP` (p1, p2)	Returns the declaration scope scope of `this` unless any of the symbols `p1` or `p2` resides in its enclosing instantiation scope then the latter is returned.
`toString` ()
`toString` ()	Convert Object to a human readable string.
`visible` ()
