If you want to do a runtime lookup, you need to separate the
two pieces. This pattern works:
switch(runtime_index) {
foreach(i, val; item.tupleof)
case i:
// use val
}
So the switch is at runtime but the loop and cases are all
known at compile time.
Adam,
Thanks for the very fast, and very thorough explanation. I
especially
appreciate the fact that you seem to have predicted where my
thoughts
were heading with my experiments ...
The "switch(runtime_index)" snippet will come in handy ...
What I would **REALLY** like is to be able to do (but I think
this is
impossible) would be to "dig out" the needed "x" array depending
on
which one of them suits my alignment needs. (Yes, I am still
playing
with avx2 ideas ...).
What I mean by "dig out" the needed "x" is: if I could
alias/enum/
or someother trick be then able just to use that "x" as a simple
static array.
(I doubt this is possible ... but .... ?).
Thanks again, Keep Warm in Upstate!
James
