- Andrej Mitrovic (2/4) Apr 25 2011 Yeah.
This keeps popping up in my posts. Here's an example of printing out fields of
a struct with its names:
import std.stdio;
void main()
{
struct ASIOChannelInfo
{
int channel;
int isInput;
int isActive;
int channelGroup;
int type;
string name;
}
auto info = ASIOChannelInfo(1, 1, 1, 16, 32, "Analog OUT");
auto fields = __traits(allMembers, typeof(info));
auto values = info.tupleof;
foreach (index, value; values)
{
writef("\n%-15s %s", fields[index], value);
}
}
Prints:
channel 1
isInput 1
isActive 1
channelGroup 16
type 32
name Analog OUT
I think we could a function in Phobos that does this with a single call. Maybe
it could also determine the longest field name and calculate the width
specifier for the formatted output so it prints out the columns nicely. It
should probably also avoid printing functions. Anyone interested in this type
of function? I could give it a shot and implement it.
Btw, is there a lockstep implementation that works with tuples?

I think it's a good idea. If __traits(allMembers) returns both method
and field names then you can use Type.tupleof[0].stringof.

Good idea. .tupleof seems to avoid collecting functions which is perfect. Here's a quick implementation: http://codepad.org/lSDTFd7E The only issue I have left is that the function that prints the code doesn't really know what the variable was named in the calling code. As an alternative I could pass "myvar.stringof" and it would print its name before all field names instead of the type name. Btw, it seems CTFE doesn't work with this syntax: foreach (index; 0..100) But it does work with this syntax: foreach (index, value; values)
