Function dmd.identifier.Identifier.generateIdWithLoc

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").

static Identifier generateIdWithLoc(
  string prefix,
  ref const(Loc) loc,
  string parent = ""
);

Parameters

NameDescription
prefix first part of the identifier name.
loc source location to use in the identifier name.
parent (optional) extra part to be used in uniqueness check, if (prefix1, loc1) == (prefix2, loc2), but parent1 != parent2, no new name will be generated.

Returns

Identifier (inside Identifier.idPool) with deterministic name based on the source location.
