Static Parameter Function Specialization in D

[Nordlöw]

I've read somewhere that D supports specialization of functions 
to calls where arguments are compile-time constants. Typical use 
of this is in matrix power functions (if exponent is 2 `x*x` is 
often faster than the general case).


I want this in my member function

   bool opIndexAssign(bool b, size_t i) @trusted pure nothrow 
in {
assert(i < len);// TODO: Add static assert(i 
< len) when i is constant

} body {
b ? bts(ptr, i) : btr(ptr, i);
return b;
}

of a statically sized `BitSet` struct I'm writing. This in order 
to, when possible, get compile-time bounds checking on the index 
variable `i`. I thought


bool opIndexAssign(bool b, const size_t i) @trusted pure 
nothrow in {

static assert(i < len);
} body {
b ? bts(ptr, i) : btr(ptr, i);
return b;
}

would suffice but then DMD complains as follows

dmd -debug -gc -gs -unittest -D 
-Dd/home/per/.emacs.d/auto-builds/dmd/Debug-Boundscheck-Unittest/home/per/Work/justd/ 
-w -main  ~/Work/justd/bitset.d /home/per/Work/justd/assert_ex.d

and:
	/home/per/Work/justd/bitset.d(65): opIndexAssign(bool b, 
const(ulong) i)

Do I have to make parameter `i` a template parameter, say using 
type `U`, and then use static if `someTypeTrait!U`. I tried this 
but isMutable!Index always evaluates to true.


import std.traits: isIntegral;
bool opIndexAssign(Index)(bool b, Index i) @trusted pure 
nothrow if (isIntegral!Index) in {

import std.traits: isMutable;
// See also: 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19906516/static-parameter-function-specialization-in-d

static if (isMutable!Index) {
assert(i < len);
} else {
import std.conv: to;
static assert(i < len,
  "Index " ~ to!string(i) ~ " must be 
smaller than BitSet length " ~  to!string(len));

}
} body {
b ? bts(ptr, i) : btr(ptr, i);
return b;
}

Does this mean D has to get the r-value references situation in

That is funny :)

Re: std.serialization

[Nordlöw]

I believe it's worth the try to get Python-style serialization 
simplicity to D by default. We use Python cpickle at work and its 
fantastically simple and fast. It handles just about everthing 
you need by default as long as you have imported the modules that 
contain the types involved in the serialization.


It would attract more people from dynamical languages like Python 
if D got default-powers in std.serialization that does everything 
that msgpack does plus followings references.


This would make it possible to serialize arbitrary graph-likes 
structures with potential reference cycles. Resolving these 
cycles can be solved by using a map that contain a list of 
references/classs that already have serialized.


I'm however not sure how serialization of base and superclasses 
should be implemented in the most convenient way. Maybe somehow 
has a good suggestion for this.

My D code is now on Github at nordlow/justd!

[Nordlöw]

Hi!

I've just uploaded a bunch of D code I've been working the recent 
year at

https://github.com/nordlow/justd

It includes various kinds of
- Non-In-Place Radix Sort: intsort.d
- Clever Printing of Groups of arrays/slices: show.d
- Boyer Moore Hoorspool Search: horspool.d
- Symbol Regex (Structured Regular Expressions similar to Elisps 
rx): sregex.d

- extension to Phobos (often ending with _ex.d)
- A compile-time sized variant of bitarray.d i call bitset.d
- An N-Gram implementation (many nested for loops): ngram.d
- A wrapper for bounded types: bound.d
- Computer Science Units: csunits.d
- Enhanced NotNull: notnull.d
- A structured wrapper for sha calculations: sha.d
- a bunch of various D sample code starting with t_.
  It should probably moved to test directory.
- and more
- Copies for various extension I copied from other repos.
- Open/LibreOffice file that includes various kinds of comments 
and suggestions for improvements to D's build process.


Please tell me if did something wrong regarding copyright and 
ownership.



Enjoy!

While being a very modest piece of code in and of itself, I

You can read DUB's documentation here:

It would be nice if we could call DUB either as

dub -wi

or in a more generic way as

dub --dmd-flags="wi,..."

so I don't have to clone the top-level project and modify its 
dub.json myself in order to test dfix built using dmd git master. 
Should I register an DUB issue for this?

Note that

Request for Recursive Warnings as Message DUB Flag

[Nordlöw]

I really think DUB lacks an important flag/option namely a 
variant of


allowWarnings

that *recursively* affects all the sub packages of a dub.json 
project description.


Otherwise developers who want to try out D will think its is 
broken because of warnings such as deprecated use of C-style 
arrays hinders them from building and trying out all the cool 
software currently packaged with DUB.


I don't think D's deprecation system was meant to have this 
affect on the developer.

Is there a special hotel, nearby Semantic HQ, where most of the

Further, when do contenders usually arrive (the day before)?

I read somewhere recently about performance regressions in DMD. 
Were these related the import and module fixes? Were they fixed? 
Do they depend on any dmd switches?


Thanks anyway!

New repo for my reusable D Phobos extensions

[Nordlöw via Digitalmars-d-announce]

I've packaged my reusable extensions to Phobos at

https://github.com/nordlow/phobos-next

PRs are very welcome.

There are lots of goodies here. Some of them should probably be 
moved to standard Phobos. I currently have lots of other D things 
to do, but you guys are welcome to try to integrate them into 
Phobos.


Enjoy or Destroy!

These operate only on integer types thanks to isIntegral template

u?int{8,16,32,64,12} to not include BigInt? If so is there a 
trait for this?

Further, perhaps we could/should do range checking on the bit

Quote from the original article: "In D, there is a cpuid module

it's incorrect."


Then the author provides a function that does it correctly.


But the article doesn't tell what's wrong with.

So what's wrong with:

import core.cpuid;
const(CacheInfo)[5] dc = dataCaches();

?

It's better to use backticks to produce raw string literals for 
all the quoted code. Then you don't have to backslash all the 
double-quotes in the HTML and JS here:
