Class dmd.mtype.TypeFunction

class TypeFunction
  : TypeNext ;

Methods

NameDescription
attributesEqual (other, trustSystemEqualsDefault)
constConv (to) Extends TypeNext.constConv by also checking for matching attributes
hasLazyParameters () Return true if there are lazy parameters.
isDstyleVariadic () Check for extern (D) U func(T t, ...) variadic function type, which has _arguments[] added as the first argument.
iswild ()
resolveNamedArgs (argumentList, pMessage) Convert an argumentList, which may contain named arguments, into a list of arguments in the order of the parameter list.
accept (v) Visits this AST node using the given visitor.
addSTC (stc) Apply STCxxxx bits to existing type. Use *before* semantic analysis is run.
alignment () Return alignment to use for this type.
baseElemOf () If this is a type of static array, return its base element type.
check () Look for bugs in constructing types.
deduceWild (t, isRef) Compute MOD bits matching this argument type to wild parameter type.
defaultInitLiteral (loc) Use when we prefer the default initializer to be a literal, rather than a global immutable variable.
deinitialize () Deinitializes the global state of the compiler.
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.
fixTo (t) For our new type 'this', which is type-constructed from t, fill in the cto, ito, sto, scto, wto shortcuts.
getUniqueID () Returns a non-zero unique ID for this Type, or returns 0 if the Type does not (yet) have a unique ID. If semantic() has not been run, 0 is returned.
hasInvariant ()
hasSystemFields () Detect if this is an unsafe type because of the presence of @system members
hasVoidInitPointers () Detect if type has pointer fields that are initialized to void. Local stack variables with such void fields can remain uninitialized, leading to pointer bugs.
hasWild () Return !=0 if the type or any of its subtypes is wild.
implicitConvTo (to) Determine if 'this' can be implicitly converted to type 'to'.
isAssignable () When T is mutable,
isBoolean () Returns true if T can be converted to boolean value.
isFunction_Delegate_PtrToFunction () Is this type a function, delegate, or pointer to a function?
isPtrToFunction () Is this type a pointer to a function?
modToBuffer (buf) Store this type's modifier name into buf.
modToChars () Return this type's modifier name.
needsCopyOrPostblit () true if when type is copied, it needs a copy constructor or postblit applied. Only applies to value types, not ref types.
needsDestruction () true if when type goes out of scope, it needs a destructor applied. Only applies to value types, not ref types.
needsNested ()
nextOf () For TypeFunction, nextOf() can return NULL if the function return type is meant to be inferred, and semantic() hasn't yet ben run on the function. After semantic(), it must no longer be NULL.
nullAttributes () Return a copy of this type with all attributes null-initialized. Useful for creating a type with different modifiers.
numberOfElems (loc) Compute number of elements for a (possibly multidimensional) static array, or 1 for other types.
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.
sizemask () Return the mask that an integral type will fit into.
toBasetype () If this is a shell around another type, get that other type.
toChars () For pretty-printing a type.
toHash () Compute hash function for Object.
toPrettyChars (QualifyTypes) For pretty-printing a type.
toString ()
toString () Convert Object to a human readable string.
