Class dmd.identifier.Identifier

class Identifier
  : RootObject ;

Constructors

NameDescription
this (name) Construct an identifier from the given name.
this (name, length, value) Construct an identifier from the given name.

Methods

NameDescription
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.
idPool (s, value) Used for inserting keywords into 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.
