tupleof of class instance... but enumerate _all_ the instance variables

tupleof works for struct and class instances, but explicitly documents that it ignores instance variables from any superclass. Is there any way to enumerate _all_ the instance variables, not just the ones present in the specific instance's class? Thanks, Andy

Thanks for responding to my question and for your time, etc. I was aware of `align` but as far as I am aware it is orthogonal to what I'm asking about. The Andrei book says that D automatically rearranges members of `class`s in memory to avoid wasting memory due to padding between members whos

Is there a way to tell D to rearrange struct members or to not rearrange class members?

I've read both of the available printed D books in their entirety (Ali's and Andrei's) and I noticed Andrei's book (circa ~2010) mentions that the D compiler rearranges the members of `class` objects to be more optimal by reducing alignment-induced padding whereas it leaves the alignment-induce

Re: My tiny but useful trace debugging code... Any suggestions from more experienced D users?

Oh, and here's another minor update. I've added another `public import` line to the module to ensure it actually works correctly when imported: ```D public import std.stdio; ``` Previously I had carelessly omitted this because I was using `trace.d` only in contexts where `std.stdio` had alrea
