      Determine which Module a Dsymbol is in.

    • isCsymbol

      Declaration

      final bool isCsymbol();

      Does this Dsymbol come from a C file?

      Return Value

      true if it does

    • getAccessModule

      Declaration

      final Module getAccessModule();

      Determine which Module a Dsymbol is in, as far as access rights go.

    • pastMixin

      Declaration

      final inout inout(Dsymbol) pastMixin();

      pastMixin returns the enclosing symbol if this is a template mixin.

      Discussion

      pastMixinAndNspace does likewise, additionally skipping over Nspaces that are mangleOnly.

      See also parent, toParent and toParent2.

    • toParent

      Declaration

      final inout inout(Dsymbol) toParent();
      final inout inout(Dsymbol) toParent2();
      final inout inout(Dsymbol) toParentDecl();
      final inout inout(Dsymbol) toParentLocal();

      parent field returns a lexically enclosing scope symbol this is a member of.

      Discussion

      toParent() returns a logically enclosing scope symbol this is a member of. It skips over TemplateMixin's.

      toParent2() returns an enclosing scope symbol this is living at runtime. It skips over both TemplateInstance's and TemplateMixin's. It's used when looking for the 'this' pointer of the enclosing function/class.

      toParentDecl() similar to toParent2() but always follows the template declaration scope instead of the instantiation scope.

      toParentLocal() similar to toParentDecl() but follows the instantiation scope if a template declaration is non-local i.e. global or static.

      Examples

      1. module mod; template Foo(alias a) { mixin Bar!(); } mixin template Bar() { public { // VisibilityDeclaration void baz() { a = 2; } } } void test() { int v = 1; alias foo = Foo!(v); foo.baz(); assert(v == 2); } // s == FuncDeclaration('mod.test.Foo!().Bar!().baz()') // s.parent == TemplateMixin('mod.test.Foo!().Bar!()') // s.toParent() == TemplateInstance('mod.test.Foo!()') // s.toParent2() == FuncDeclaration('mod.test') // s.toParentDecl() == Module('mod') // s.toParentLocal() == FuncDeclaration('mod.test')

    • toParentP

      Declaration

      final Dsymbol toParentP(Dsymbol p1, Dsymbol p2 = null);

  • handleTagSymbols

    Declaration

    Dsymbol handleTagSymbols(ref Scope sc, Dsymbol s, Dsymbol s2, ScopeDsymbol sds);

    ImportC tag symbols sit in a parallel symbol table, so that this C code works:

    1. struct S { a; }; int S; struct S s;
    But there are relatively few such tag symbols, so that would be a waste of memory and complexity. An additional problem is we'd like the D side to find the tag symbols with ordinary lookup, not lookup in both tables, if the tag symbol is not conflicting with an ordinary symbol. The solution is to put the tag symbols that conflict into an associative array, indexed by the address of the ordinary symbol that conflicts with it. C has no modules, so this associative array is tagSymTab[] in ModuleDeclaration. A side effect of our approach is that D code cannot access a tag symbol that is hidden by an ordinary symbol. This is more of a theoretical problem, as nobody has mentioned it when importing C headers. If someone wants to do it, too bad so sad. Change the C code. This function fixes up the symbol table when faced with adding a new symbol s when there is an existing symbol s2 with the same name. C also allows forward and prototype declarations of tag symbols, this function merges those.

    Parameters

    Scope sc

    context

    Dsymbol s

    symbol to add to symbol table

    Dsymbol s2

    existing declaration

    if s and s2 are successfully put in symbol table then return the merged symbol, null if they conflict

    existing declaration

    ScopeDsymbol sds
