I'm trying to declare format for database record in compile time.
I consider to use attributes fo this. Can I do something similar
to this code?
struct RecordFormat(T)
{}
alias Format = RecordFormat!( @("cool") int );
pragma( msg, Format );
void main()
{
}
Or I want something strange that is not supported by language?
For now I don't understand whether UDA are a part of types or
they are a part of variable instance definition or something
different (3rd dimension)).
For example 'const int' is a type but what @attribute int is? Can
it be considered as separate type or it could be binded to
definition of variable only?
@attribute int number;
I failed to alias type
alias coolInt = @("cool") int;
But I can alias const int
alias constInt = const int;
I think I understood something wrong about attributes.
