Properties look like variables. How do I distinguish
properties from
proper variables?
I think this will do it:
import std.traits;
bool isProperty = (functionAttributes!(S.P) &
FunctionAttributes.property) ? true : false
The way that works in the implementation is checking the
mangled name of
the function. I wouldn't try anything else because any other
difference
between a property and a variable is arguably a bug since
they are supposed
to be mostly interchangable!
That's weird. Why would I call functionAttributes in something
that I
can't even identify as a function? That's almost
self-defeating... but as
long as functionAttributes will tolerate being called with
basically any
argument, function or otherwise, then I guess this is okay...
And fail! functionAttributes breaks when I pass basically
anything that's
not a function >_<
You could use check for isCallable before using
functionAttributes. I don't know if isCallable is supposed to
return true for properties once they are fully defined and
implemented, but it currently does.
