Accessing UDA of private field
I'm trying to adapt my serialization library, Orange, to use the new UDA's. Currently I have one template, NonSerialized, that I want to transfer to an UDA. This template works like: class Foo { int a; int b; mixin NonSerialized!(b); } When serializing Foo b will not be serialized. What the template does is adding a static field to the class, like this: class Foo { int a; int b; static enum __nonSerialized = [b]; } Which I then can extract and use to exclude the fields from serialization. This works fine to transfer to an UDA except in one case. That is when the field is not public. Orange will serialize all fields, regardless of the protection they have. I accomplish this by using the tupleof property of the class. The problem is that to access a UDA attached to a field I need to pass a symbol to the __traits(getAttributes). With tupleof I can get the name, type and value of a field but I cannot get a symbol. __traits(getMember) can be used to get the symbol but that will only work for public fields. Does anyone have another solution? I had really hoped I could use UDA's in Orange. https://github.com/jacob-carlborg/orange -- /Jacob Carlborg

You can use a string mixin: class Foo { int a; @(3) private int b; } void main() { writeln(mixin(__traits(getAttributes, ~ Foo.tupleof[1].stringof ~ ))); // - 3 }

You can use a string mixin: class Foo { int a; @(3) private int b; } void main() { writeln(mixin(__traits(getAttributes, ~ Foo.tupleof[1].stringof ~ ))); // - 3 } Hmm This works only when main is in the same file (and therefor module) as Foo. Regards - Puneet

Yes, but the OP question was to get the attributes in a generic way. The interesting part is the mixin, the rest is just scaffolding to print a result. If Jacob adopts this solution, he can insert these mixins where he needs them.
