digitalmars.D - feature request: __traits(getTemplate, A!T) => A;

reply Timothee Cour <thelastmammoth gmail.com> writes:
I've fixed several limitations in std.traits.fullyQualifiedName
/ packageName / moduleName but still have issues with templated types /
functions:

currently:
struct A{}
std.traits.fullyQualifiedName!(A!(int)) => CT error.

attempt to fix it:

----
template Stringof(alias T){
static if (!isCallable!T) enum Stringof = T.stringof;
else enum Stringof = __traits(identifier, T);
}
template isTemplateInstantiation(alias T){
import std.algorithm;
enum isTemplateInstantiation=Stringof!T.canFind(`!`);
}
template fullyQualifiedName(alias T)
{
static if (isTemplateInstantiation!T){
enum s=Stringof!T;
import std.algorithm;
enum s2=s.findSplit("!");
mixin(`alias temp=`~s2[0]~`;`);
enum fullyQualifiedName =fullyQualifiedName!temp~s2[1]~s2[2];
}
        else{...}
}

version(unittest){
  struct A(T1,T2){}
}
unittest{
  static assert(fullyQualifiedName!(A!(int,double)) == "util.traits.A!(int,
double)");
}
----

however, it works only when "A" is visible in the scope of
fullyQualifiedName, so it's pretty useless as it is. A potential fix would
be to require the user to use a mixin
(mixin(fullyQualifiedNameMixin!(A!double)) ) but that's ugly.

What we need:
__traits(getTemplate, A!T) => A
__traits(getTemplateArguments, A!(T,"foo")) => (T,"foo") (ie returns a
tuple as in parameterTypeTuple or similar)

any thoughts?

Only works for types.

Replacing the static if with template specialization makes it shorter: template getTemplate(T : TI!TP, alias TI, TP) { alias getTemplate = TI; }

great, thanks! improved to support arbitrary number of a template getTemplate(T : TI!TP, alias TI, TP...) { alias getTemplate = TI; } however, indeed seems to work with types only, not functions.

Just add another overload (is that the correct term?) with alias T: template getTemplate(alias T : TI!TP, alias TI, TP...) { alias getTemplate = TI; }

did you test it? doesn't work for me: auto fun(T)(T x){return x;} pragma(msg,__LINE__,":",getTemplate!(fun!double)); Error: template instance getTemplate!(fun) does not match template declaration getTemplate(alias T : TI!(TP), alias TI, TP...)

Oh, sorry. I had tested it with generic templates and assumed it would work with everything that's not a type. No ideas on how to make it work with function templates then.

there's also this case: template E8(T){ struct B{} struct A{} } pragma(msg,__LINE__,":",getTemplate!(E8!(float))); => works with template getTemplate(alias T : TI!TP, alias TI, TP...) specialization pragma(msg,__LINE__,":",getTemplate!(E8!(float).A)); => ?? how to make the 2nd work? is there something like: template getTemplate(alias T : TI!TP.TE, alias TI, alias TE, TP...) {...} available ?

 is there something like:

E8!float.A itself is not a template instance, its parent is. I think it's correct for getTemplate to not compile in this case. In the end, putting getTemplate!Foo and getTemplateArguments!Foo back together should lead to Foo again. I don't see what getTemplate!(E8!float.A) could return for that to hold.

Nice, thanks! Didn't know this syntax is allowed in template 
specialization too.
