Does anyone have any ideas regarding this problem?
I haven't looked into this fully, but for the "the length field and the
array/structure are separated by one or more fields" issue, something
like this should help:
----
foreach( m; MyStruct.tupleof )
{
static if( is( typeof(m) x : x[] ) )
{
// This member is an array, so read the size_t length first, then
// the elements
}
else
{
// Treat normally.
}
}

Yeah, that's about what I do. The trouble is getting blit to know which
field is the length field. I suppose you could pass an index into the
tuple to the substructure. That still wouldn't fix the substructure
being able to modify the field length.
I don't think there's a way of finding if a member is part of an
anonymous union, the only way around this seems to be to use a named
union so it is treated as one field.
Well, I assume anything with a union has to be special cased anyways,
especially when the union has fields of different sizes. Everything's
always written little endian, and I suspect treating the union as a
single field would cause problems on mac, etc.
