Any ideas why DMD2 cannot inline this, but LDC2 has no problem doing so -- or suggestions for what I can do to make DMD2 inline it? Alternatively, I could version(DigitalMars) and version(LDC), but AFAICT this requires me to duplicate the entire template, because I cannot figure out how to mak

std.container.rbtree as Interval Tree?

2019-02-04 Thread James Blachly via Digitalmars-d-learn
I tried to implement an interval tree backed by std.container.rbtree today and fell flat. A standard way to make an interval tree is to make an augmented tree; I supposed since rbtree was a generic container and because I could define opCmp, this should be a cinch. I ran into two problems.

Re: Shared, ref, arrays, and reserve template instantiation

2018-09-12 Thread James Blachly via Digitalmars-d-learn
Great -- Thank you both. I previously found Unqual, but it looks like that needs template support so wasn't feasible, hence my question. Neia is right that I tried to cast as in the second case ( but without UFCS -- reserve( cast(int[]), N); ). As an aside, what is going on behind the scene

Hi all, I am linking to a C library which defines a symbol, const char seq_nt16_str[] = "=ACMGRSVTWYHKDBN"; In the C sources, this is an array of 16 bytes (17 I guess, because it is written as a string). In the C headers, it is listed as extern const char seq_nt16_str[]; When linking to t
