I have code roughly like the following:
dstring str = "name"d;
uint ordinal = (( str in Decls.ordinals ) !is null) ?
Decls.ordinals[ str ] : -1;
struct Decls
{
uint[ dstring] ordinals;
}
//and
Decls.ordinals[ str ] = ordinal_counter++;
The problem is that it always returns ordinal== -1 from the
expression. Can you sort me out? I took this from the example
given in the language reference under arrays, testing for
membership (or similar, I forget the subssection title).
From good old printfs it seems to be the case that the array is
being populated (elsewhere) with the expected correct values.
Taking out the if doesn’t seem to help either. I don’t have a way
of examining the contents of the dynamic array directly to check
that they are actually being stored as expected, other than
seeing that that line of code is indeed being executed with the
expected values of str going in. Note that I’m using 32-bit
dstrings everywhere, not strings of bytes.
