I'm working with a library that has template structs of
mathematical vectors that can sometimes be the type of an array
I'm passing to a function.
The definition of the struct is like this:
struct Vector(type, int dimension_){ ... }
Where type is going to be an int/float/etc and dimension_ is
2/3/4.
I could write a bunch of functions for each case, but I'd
rather not... I'd like to use something like the following:
void foo(T)(Array!T array){
if(isInstanceOf!(Vector, T)){
//get type of T or check it
//test if dimension_ is 2 or 3 or 4
...
} else {
//Non-vector stuff
...
}
}
But to do that I need to check that parameters of T as if it
were an instantiated instance of Vector and I'm not sure how to
accomplish that... Can anyone help me out with what I need to
do?
I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're after, but with the
traits shown below you should be able to perform the following
compile time checks.
---
void foo(T)(T v){
static if(isVec!(T)){ } // Vec of any type and size
static if(isVec!(T, int)){ } // Vec of type 'int' but any size
static if(isVec!(T, 3)){ } // Vec of size 3 but any type
static if(isVec!(T, 3, int)){ } // Vec of size 3 and type
'int'
}

Traits impl:
(this is from memory with no D compiler around so excuse any
typos)
---
struct Vec(size_t Dim, Type) {} // Vector template parms
dimension and type.
/**
* Is V a Vec of any element type and any size

template isVec(V)
{
enum isVec = is(Unqual!V == Vec!(n, U), size_t n, U);
}
