digitalmars.D.learn - Source code for vibe.d listenTCP()

Hi D

I'm trying out the vibe.d framework for the first time and it 
looks like many of the functions mutate some hidden global state. 
  Take for example `listenTCP`.  To help me build a mental 
picuture of the framework I'd like to see what global state is 
mutated, but for the life of me I can't even find the source code 
to listenTCP().  The obvious method of:
```bash
git clone git github.com:vibe-d/vibe.d.git
cd vibe.d
grep -R -n listenTCP
```
returns many instances where listenTCP is used, but none that 
look like a definition.  It's quite possible I just overlooked 
it, or maybe it's implemented as a mixin or something weird like 
that.

Anyway if someone can just help me find the source code to 
listenTCP inside vibe.d I'd be grateful.

Thanks for your time,

Sorry to reply to myself, but I found the function.  It was 
separated
out into a separate package: https://github.com/vibe-d/vibe-core 
on
which vibe-d now depends.  D has so many code obscuring features 
that
I didn't think to check for dependencies first.

https://dlang.org/spec/traits.html#getLocation can be a 
bruteforce approach to this question when dealing with a new 
codebase.

My dpldocs.info search engine is not great right now but it can 
sometimes help find these things:

http://search.dpldocs.info/?q=listenTCP

Putting the name in there did find

http://vibe-core.dpldocs.info/vibe.core.net.listenTCP.1.html

and my website also offers a "see implementation" link at the 
bottom which has some inline code navigation jump links too to 
help.


tbh i find vibe's codebase to be awfully convoluted. Part of why 
I made this cross-package search engine is to try to trace where 
some of these bugs came from.

Yes! Freaking awesome!

This needs to be a link on the regular D pages, or at least in
the package index pages.  (Maybe it is already?)

Hi Adam

Your site has been super helpful given the state of the vibe.d 
docs.  It only has one issue from my point of view.  The source 
code listing pages, for example this one:

https://vibe-core.dpldocs.info/source/vibe.core.stream.d.html#L288

don't expand horizontally to use the given space in the browser 
window.

Since the vibe.d sources contain many long lines I have to scroll 
down, find the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the page, 
and then scroll back up and find the function I was looking at. 
Do you observe the same behavior in your preferred browser, or is 
this just a problem in Firefox 91?

No matter what, thanks for the site. I've been using it a lot!
