Couldn't resist purging that of the string fiddling:
private template staticIota(uint n)
{
import std.typetuple: TypeTuple;
static if(n == 0) alias staticIota = TypeTuple!();
else alias staticIota = TypeTuple!(.staticIota!(n - 1), n -
1);
}
template lookupTable(alias fn, uint max = 255)
{
import std.traits: ReturnType;
import std.typetuple: staticMap;
static assert(max < uint.max);
enum length = max + 1;
enum ctfn(uint x) = fn(x);
alias elements = staticMap!(ctfn, staticIota!length);
enum ReturnType!fn[length] lookupTable = [elements];
}
...
Wtf. Is this really the point you are trying to make? :o)
This achieves the same:
template lookupTable(alias fn,uint max=255){
static assert(max<uint.max);
enum ReturnType!fn[max+1] lookupTable=iota(0,max+1).map!fn.array;
}
void main()
{
char f(uint x) pure @safe {return x == 42 ? '!' : '.';}
static immutable t = lookupTable!f;
static assert(is(typeof(t) == immutable char[256]));
assert(t[42] == '!');
}
