I'm having a mental block and for the life of me a cannot work out how to
code a simple and efficient test for the data type of a Box.

I want to do this sort of thing ...

  Box foo;
  . . .
  if (foo.type == dchar[])
  {
    . . . 
  }

Help!

Derek, I hope you find this example code useful: Output: ------- C:\dmd>dmd boxtype.d -release C:\dmd\bin\..\..\dm\bin\link.exe boxtype,,,user32+kernel32/noi; C:\dmd>boxtype dchar[] value=This is a test!

Opps! Line: if (foo.type() == typeid(dchar[])) should be: if (foo.type() is typeid(dchar[])) You may find some other useful code from my Box-Xtras section of my site: http://spottedtiger.tripod.com/D_Language/D_BoxXtras_Support_Projects_XP.html David L. ------------------------------------------------------------------- "Dare to reach for the Stars...Dare to Dream, Build, and Achieve!" ------------------------------------------------------------------- MKoD: http://spottedtiger.tripod.com/D_Language/D_Main_XP.html

Thanks. I forgot about 'typeid()'. This is my first play with boxes. A pity about the -release restriction. I also found out that you must not have -unittest either.

Thanks. I'll have a peek or two. -- Derek Parnell Melbourne, Australia 30/08/2005 10:14:47 PM

You can get around this restriction without recompiling Phobos by putting "extern (C) void assert_3std5boxer () { }" in your code. Hopefully this will be one of the fixes in 0.130.
