There have been many posts asking about keyword arguments for D a
la Python. Usually I reply saying to just use the type system,
but that has the incovenience of having to pass all 7 parameters
before the optional 8th one you actually care about despite you
being ok with the default values before that. std.process.execute
is a particular thorn in my side since I usually only want to
change `workDir`, but I digress. Behold:
--------------------------
import kwargs;
struct Foo { string value; }
struct Bar { string value; }
struct Baz { string value; }
size_t funImpl(in Foo foo, in Bar bar = Bar("lebar"), in Baz baz
= Baz("lebaz")) {
return foo.value.length + bar.value.length + baz.value.length;
}
alias fun = kwargify!funImpl;
fun(Foo()).should == 10;
fun(Bar("b"), Foo("fo")).should == 8;
fun(Bar("b"), Baz("ba"), Foo("foo")).should == 6;
------------------------------------------
The API for compile-time parameters isn't as nice, but seeing as
how there's no way in D that I know of currently to reflect on
those, this is what I managed to conjure up:
----------------------
struct Foo { int val; }
struct Bar { int val; }
struct Baz { int val; }
int[] funImpl(Foo foo, Bar bar, Baz baz)() {
return [foo.val, bar.val, baz.val];
}
alias fun = kwargify!(funImpl, Required!Foo, Optional!(Bar(2)),
Optional!(Baz(3)));
fun!(Foo(1)).should == [1, 2, 3];
fun!(Baz(9), Foo(7)).should == [7, 2, 9];
fun!(Baz(9), Bar(8), Foo(7)).should == [7, 8, 9];
