The current possibility of UFCS is:
struct S { }
void func(S s) { }
S s;
s.func(); // equivalent of func(s);
why not add:
template sizeInInts(T)
{
enum sizeInInts = T.sizeof / 4;
}
S.sizeInInts // equivalent of sizeInInts!S
Is it worth it? I mean adding static members to aggregate types.
Consider another example:
struct MD5 { ... }
struct SHA1 { ... }
string hash(Digest)(const(void)[] data)
if (isDigest!Digest)
{
Digest d;
ubyte[DigestLen!Digest] h;
d.put(cast(const(ubyte)[])data);
d.finish(h);
return xformat("%(%02x%)", h);
}
and instead of writing hash!SHA1("abc"), write SHA1.hash("abc");
See my suggestion for a similar feature:
