digitalmars.D.learn - Process a TypeTuple

Is it possible to apply some operation on every member of a 
TypeTuple, then get the result back?

Say I have a TypeTuple of array types, and I want a TypeTuple of 
their element types, how could I do that?

You can do that with std.typetuple.staticMap, example: --- import std.stdio; import std.typetuple; template ElemType(T) { alias ElemType = typeof(T.init[0]); } void main(string[] args) { alias T1 = TypeTuple!(int[],ubyte[]); alias T2 = staticMap!(ElemType, T1); writeln(typeof(T1.init).stringof); writeln(typeof(T2.init).stringof); } --- outputs: --- (int[], ubyte[]) (int, ubyte) --- It's like the higher-order function map() but for type list:

For this particular example you use std.range.ElementType: import std.typecons, std.range; alias Elements = staticMap!(ElementType, MyRangeOrArrayTypes);
