digitalmars.D - UDA: getAttributes does not play well with topleof

reply d coder <dlang.coder gmail.com> writes:
Greetings

I am trying out the new UDA functionality in the github dmd. I wanted to
find out what different fields of a class carry a particular attribute. So
I tried to look at the set of attributes on all the fields returned by
tupleof. Interestingly I got nothing. On the other hand, when I explicitly
specify a particular field in the object, the attribute is getting printed
nicely on my screen.

So my question is: Is this a bug in DMD, or am I doing something plainly
wrong?

If this is not a bug, I want to find out if there would be a way to find
what different fields of a class carry a given attribute?

Thanks and Regards

template Tuple(T...) {

class Foo {
   Bar int a;
  int b;
}

void main() {
  Foo foo = new Foo;
  foreach(ref l; foo.tupleof) {
    alias Tuple!(__traits(getAttributes, l)) tp;
    pragma(msg, tp); // prints nothing
  }
  alias Tuple!(__traits(getAttributes, foo.a)) tp;
  pragma(msg, tp);             // prints (Bar)
}

Try something like this:

foreach (i, dummy, foo.tupleof)
{
     alias Tuple!(__traits(getAttributes, foo.tupleof[i])) tp;
     pragma(msg, tp);
}

Ok so that is because ref does not work with foreach on tuples. Somehow I
thought that got fixed.
Anyways, with your suggestion I get a strange error.

Error: first argument is not a symbol
tuple(false)

You're doing something wrong. Consider:

 Bar int i = 3;
int x = i;

The UDA does not get transferred to x. This is why your loop:

foreach(ref l; foo.tupleof)

does not transfer the UDAs to l.

But Walter, even the code below does not work.

tuple(false)


template Tuple(T...) {
  alias T Tuple;
}

enum Bar;
class Foo {
   Bar int a;
}

void main()
{
  Foo foo = new Foo;
  alias Tuple!(__traits(getAttributes, foo.tupleof[0])) tp;
  pragma(msg, tp);
}

That's right, msg is undefined!!



 template Tuple(T...) {
    alias T Tuple;

 enum Bar;
 class Foo {
     Bar int a;

 void main()
 {
    Foo foo = new Foo;
    alias Tuple!(__traits(getAttributes, foo.tupleof[0])) tp;
    pragma(msg, tp);

I thought I would be able to use allMembers/getMembers traits to access the
attributes of all the members of a class. But that fails me if some members
of the class are private.

Consider the code pasted below -- I get en error:

B.d(5): Error: class A.Foo member bar is not accessible

And so it seems it is essential that tupleof works with getAttributes,
since tupleof does not care for access protection.

I have filed a bug on Budzilla.

module A;

module B;
void main() {
  import A;
  Foo foo = new Foo;
  static if(__traits(getProtection, __traits(getMember, foo, "bar"))  //
<-- can not access foo.bar
    == "public")
    {
      // Check for attribute Boo and proceed
    }
}
