Furthermore, you need to filter allMembers by a lot more than just function and "Monitor" as it also includes enum constants, etc. Having tried using it for serialization, I know it's non-trivial to use correctly, if you only want the actual data fields.i.e. void copyMembers(A)(A src, A tgt) if (is(A == class)) { tgt.tupleof = src.tupleof; }
Indeed, that's the canonical solution. Thanks for the reminder. Andrei
