Hmm, don't know. Let see:
import std.stdio;
class C
{
int i;
unittest
{
assert(true);
writeln("Hello World!");
}
}
void main() {
writeln([__traits(allMembers, C)]);
writeln(typeof(C.__unittest1()).stringof);
C.__unittest1();
}
No, compile this with and without -unittest, and __unittest1 is present. Oh,
btw, contrary to the docs __traits(getOverloads, T) works also for structs
and modules, not only classes.
The unittests type is void delegate(), which is coherent with them being
blocks of instructions. You can even call it like a function (see the last
line of main).
Strange, I never could get that to work... Maybe I didn't try this with a
class.
