i want to port this C++ code to good/clean D and have no real idea how

contains 2 templates - a slice like and a binary reader for an slice
main idea was to copy the immutablity of the slice data to the reader

http://pastebin.com/XX2yhm8D

the example compiles fine with http://gcc.godbolt.org/, clang version
3.4.1 and compiler-options: -O2 -std=c++11

the slice_T template - could be maybe reduce down to an normal D slice
but i want to control the slice (im)mutability - so maybe there is still
a need for the slice_T thing

i don't know if the binary reader read_ref method should be written
totaly different in D

any tips, ideas?


If the following is not already what you were looking for, it should get
you started. (But note that the interface provided by BinaryReader is
unsafe: It may invent pointers. You might want to add template
constraints that would at least allow the implementation to be @trusted.)

template CopyQualifiers(S,T){
      import std.traits;
      static if(is(S==const)) alias T1=const(Unqual!T);
      else alias T1=Unqual!T;
      static if(is(S==immutable)) alias T2=immutable(T1);
      else alias T2=T1;
      static if(is(S==inout)) alias T3=inout(T2);
      else alias T3=T2;
      static if(is(S==shared)) alias CopyQualifiers=shared(T3);
      else alias CopyQualifiers=T3;
}

struct BinaryReader(T){
      @disable this();
      this(T[] slice){ this.slice=slice; }
      size_t left()const{ return slice.length - offset; }
      bool enoughSpaceLeft(size_t size)const{ return size <= left(); }
      ref readRef(V)(){
          if(!enoughSpaceLeft(V.sizeof)) throw new Exception("1");
          auto off=offset;
          offset+=V.sizeof;
          return *cast(CopyQualifiers!(T,V)*)(slice.ptr+off);
      }
      auto readValue(V)(){ return readRef!V(); }
private:
      T[] slice;
      size_t offset=0;
}

auto binaryReader(T)(T[] slice){ return BinaryReader!T(slice); }

void main(){
      import std.stdio;
      try{
          auto testData = "THIS IS BINARY TEST DATA"; // no comment
          auto stream = binaryReader(testData);
          static assert(is(typeof(stream.readRef!uint())==immutable));
          (ref ref_){
              auto value = stream.readValue!uint();
          }(stream.readRef!uint());
      }catch(Exception e){
          writeln("exception error: ",e.msg);
      }catch{
          writeln("exception unknown");
      }
}



seems to be a good start - how would you implement such slice/reader thing in idiomatic D style - the same?
