Function std.array.staticArray

Constructs a static array from a. The type of elements can be specified implicitly so that [1, 2].staticArray results in int[2], or explicitly, e.g. [1, 2].staticArray!float returns float[2]. When a is a range whose length is not known at compile time, the number of elements must be given as template argument (e.g. myrange.staticArray!2). Size and type can be combined, if the source range elements are implicitly convertible to the requested element type (eg: 2.iota.staticArray!(long[2])). When the range a is known at compile time, it can also be specified as a template argument to avoid having to specify the number of elements (e.g.: staticArray!(2.iota) or staticArray!(double, 2.iota)).

T[n] staticArray(T, ulong n) (
  auto ref T[n] a
);

U[n] staticArray(U, T, ulong n) (
  auto ref T[n] a
)
if (!is(T == U) && is(T : U));

auto staticArray(ulong n, T) (
  scope T a
)
if (isInputRange!T);

auto staticArray(ulong n, T) (
  scope T a,
  out size_t rangeLength
)
if (isInputRange!T);

auto staticArray(Un, U, ulong n, T) (
  scope T a
)
if (isInputRange!T && is(ElementType!T : U));

auto staticArray(Un, U, ulong n, T) (
  scope T a,
  out size_t rangeLength
)
if (isInputRange!T && is(ElementType!T : U));

auto staticArray(alias a)()
if (isInputRange!(typeof(a)));

auto staticArray(U, alias a)()
if (isInputRange!(typeof(a)));

Note

staticArray returns by value, so expressions involving large arrays may be inefficient.

Parameters

NameDescription
a The input elements. If there are less elements than the specified length of the static array, the rest of it is default-initialized. If there are more than specified, the first elements up to the specified length are used.
rangeLength outputs the number of elements used from a to it. Optional.

Returns

A static array constructed from a.

Example

static array from array literal 

auto a = [0, 1].staticArray;
static assert(is(typeof(a) == int[2]));
writeln(a); // [0, 1]

Example

static array from array with implicit casting of elements 

auto b = [0, 1].staticArray!long;
static assert(is(typeof(b) == long[2]));
writeln(b); // [0, 1]

Example

static array from range + size 

import std.range : iota;

auto input = 3.iota;
auto a = input.staticArray!2;
static assert(is(typeof(a) == int[2]));
writeln(a); // [0, 1]
auto b = input.staticArray!(long[4]);
static assert(is(typeof(b) == long[4]));
writeln(b); // [0, 1, 2, 0]

Example

static array from CT range 

import std.range : iota;

enum a = staticArray!(2.iota);
static assert(is(typeof(a) == int[2]));
writeln(a); // [0, 1]

enum b = staticArray!(long, 2.iota);
static assert(is(typeof(b) == long[2]));
writeln(b); // [0, 1]
