In Python it's often useful to join tuples. So I suggest to add this operator
to the tuples of std.typecons. 

A problem arises when you try to concatenate two Tuple that share one or more
field names. This problem can be faced in several different ways, here I show
two different solutions.

Both solutions can allow to perform Tuple~Tuple or Tuple~struct but not
struct~Tuple. To perform struct~Tuple you have to use Tuple!()()~struct~Tuple
(I don't know if this can be improved).


This first version refuses to join two tuples if two field names clash:


    alias T TypesAndStrings; // better to move this at the top of the Tuple
struct

    ///
    auto opBinary(string op, TOther)(TOther other)
      if (op == "~" && is(TOther == struct) &&
          (!__traits(compiles, { void isTuple(U...)(Tuple!U){} isTuple(other);
}) ||
           distinctFieldNames!(T, TOther.TypesAndStrings)() )) {

        // is TOther a Tuple?
        static if (__traits(compiles, { void isTuple(U...)(Tuple!U){}
isTuple(other); })) {
            enum string fieldsName = "field";
            alias TOther.Types OtherTypes;
            Tuple!(T, TOther.TypesAndStrings) result;
        } else {
            enum string fieldsName = "tupleof";
            alias typeof(TOther.tupleof) OtherTypes;
            Tuple!(T, OtherTypes) result;
        }

        // copy fields of this instance
        foreach (i, Unused; Types) // static foreach
            static if (__traits(isStaticArray, Types[i]))
                mixin( Format!("result.field[%s][] = this.%s[%s];", i,
fieldsName, i) );
            else
                mixin( Format!("result.field[%s] = this.%s[%s];", i,
fieldsName, i) );

        // copy fields of other instance
        foreach (i, Unused; OtherTypes) // static foreach
            static if (__traits(isStaticArray, OtherTypes[i]))
                mixin( Format!("result.field[%s][] = other.%s[%s];", i +
Types.length, fieldsName, i) );
            else
                mixin( Format!("result.field[%s] = other.%s[%s];", i +
Types.length, fieldsName, i) );

        return result;
    }
+/



This second version removes the fields names from both tuples if and only if
two or more field names clash:


    alias T TypesAndStrings; // better to move this at the top of the Tuple
struct

    ///
    auto opBinary(string op, TOther)(TOther other) if (op == "~" && is(TOther
== struct)) {

         // is TOther a Tuple?
         static if (__traits(compiles, { void isTuple(U...)(Tuple!U){}
isTuple(other); })) {
             enum string fieldsName = "field";
             alias TOther.Types OtherTypes;
             static if (distinctFieldNames!(T, TOther.TypesAndStrings)()) {
                Tuple!(T, TOther.TypesAndStrings) result;
            } else {
                Tuple!(Types, OtherTypes) result;
            }
         } else {
             enum string fieldsName = "tupleof";
             alias typeof(TOther.tupleof) OtherTypes;
             Tuple!(T, OtherTypes) result;
         }

         // copy fields of this instance
         foreach (i, Unused; Types) // static foreach
             static if (__traits(isStaticArray, Types[i]))
                 mixin( Format!("result.field[%s][] = this.%s[%s];", i,
fieldsName, i) );
             else
                 mixin( Format!("result.field[%s] = this.%s[%s];", i,
fieldsName, i) );

         // copy fields of other instance
         foreach (i, Unused; OtherTypes) // static foreach
             static if (__traits(isStaticArray, OtherTypes[i]))
                 mixin( Format!("result.field[%s][] = other.%s[%s];", i +
Types.length, fieldsName, i) );
             else
                 mixin( Format!("result.field[%s] = other.%s[%s];", i +
Types.length, fieldsName, i) );

         return result;
    }
}


---------------------

To work that code needs Iota and distinctFieldNames that can be found in bug
4582 :


private template Iota(int stop) { // this is useful in general
    static if (stop <= 0)
        alias TypeTuple!() Iota;
    else
        alias TypeTuple!(Iota!(stop-1), stop-1) Iota;
}

private bool distinctFieldNames(T...)() {
    enum int tlen = T.length; // can't move this below, probably DMD bug
    foreach (i1; Iota!(tlen))
        static if (is(typeof(T[i1]) : string))
            foreach (i2; Iota!(tlen))
                static if (i1 != i2 && is(typeof(T[i2]) : string))
                    if (T[i1] == T[i2])
                        return false;
    return true;
}

---------------------

Both versions need an extra alias that keeps all the Tuple instantiation
arguments:
alias T TypesAndStrings;


This code shown to me by Philippe Sigaud avoids to define this alias, but this
solution looks too much complex for this job:


private string[3] _between(char b, char e, string s)() {
    int foundb, ib;
    string notFound = "";

    foreach (i, c; s) {
        if (c == b) {
            if (foundb == 0) {
                foundb = 1;
                ib = i+1;
                continue;
            } else {
                foundb++;
            }
        }

        if (c == e) {
            if (foundb == 1)
                return [s[0 .. ib-1], s[ib .. i], s[i+1 .. $]];
            else
                foundb--;
        }
    }

    return [s, notFound, notFound];
}

/// Given an instantiated template, returns a tuple of its arguments.
template TemplateParameters(T) {
    mixin("alias TypeTuple!(" ~ _between!('(', ')' , T.stringof)[1] ~ ")
TemplateParameters;");
}


If the _between() + TemplateParameters() are added to Phobos then I can use
them instead of the TypesAndStrings alias.

Slicing too is sometimes useful:

import std.typecons;
void main() {
    auto t1 = tuple(10, 20, 30, 40, 50);
    auto t2 = tuple(100, 200, 300);
    auto t3 = t1[0 .. 2]; // tuple slicing
    auto t4 = t1 ~ t2;    // tuple concat
}

I suggest to add the support for Tuple concatenation and join:

In Python 2.6:

 t1 = (1, 2)
 t1 + t1
(1, 2, 1, 2)
 t1 + (3,)
(1, 2, 3) Proposed D syntax: void main() { import std.typecons; auto t1 = tuple(1, 2); auto t2 = t1 ~ t1; auto t3a = t1 ~ 3; auto t3b = t1 ~ tuple(3); } An use case, this computes the frequency of the first digit (Benford's Law): import std.stdio, std.range, std.math, std.conv, std.bigint, std.algorithm; auto benford(R)(R data) { auto heads = data.filter!q{a != 0}.map!q{ a.text[0] - '1' }.array; immutable double k = heads.length; return iota(1, 10) .zip(heads.sort().group.map!(p => p[1] / k)) .map!q{ [a[]] ~ log10(1.0 + 1.0 / a[0]) }; } void main() { auto fibs = recurrence!q{a[n - 1] + a[n - 2]}(1.BigInt, 1.BigInt); writefln("%9s %9s %9s", "Actual", "Expected", "Deviation"); foreach (p; fibs.take(1000).benford) writefln("%1.0f: %5.2f%% | %5.2f%% | %5.4f%%", p[0], p[1] * 100, p[2] * 100, abs(p[2] - p[1]) * 100); } Currently the benford() function returns a range of double[]: .map!q{ [a[]] ~ log10(1.0 + 1.0 / a[0]) }; If I want to return a range of 3-tuples: .map!q{ tuple(a[], log10(1.0 + 1.0 / a[0])) }; With the proposed syntax the code becomes: .map!q{ a ~ log10(1.0 + 1.0 / a[0]) }; Or: .map!q{ a ~ tuple(log10(1.0 + 1.0 / a[0])) }; -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
