Class `dmd.identifier.Identifier`


						
				class Identifier
				
  : RootObject
				;

Constructors

Name	Description
`this` (name)	Construct an identifier from the given name.
`this` (name, length, value)	Construct an identifier from the given name.

Methods

Name	Description
`generateAnonymousId` (name)	Generates a new anonymous identifier.
`generateId` (prefix)	Generates a new identifier.
`generateId` (prefix, suffix)	Generates a new identifier.
`generateIdWithLoc` (prefix, loc)	Generate deterministic named identifier based on a source location, such that the name is consistent across multiple compilations. A new unique name is generated. If the prefix+location is already in the stringtable, an extra suffix is added (starting the count at "_1").
`idPool` (s, len)	Create an identifier in the string table.
`isValidIdentifier` (str)	Determine if string is a valid Identifier.
`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.
`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.
`toHash` ()	Compute hash function for Object.
`toString` ()
`toString` ()	Convert Object to a human readable string.
