https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17038 Issue ID: 17038 Summary: support for std.uni store / load trie entry table Product: D Version: D2 Hardware: x86_64 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P1 Component: phobos Assignee: nobody puremagic.com Reporter: remi.thebault gmail.com Use case: - efficiently map a dchar to some unicode properties not supported in std.uni example of workflow: - in a separate program: 1. build a AA of the required mapping 2. build a std.uni.Trie out of this AA (e.g. using std.uni.codepointTrie) 3. store the trie entry tables in a generated D module - in the application/library code: 4. rebuild the Trie from the entry tables. Steps 1 to 3 are already supported by std.uni, though not documented (I had to dive into std.uni code to understand how it must be done). Step 4 is currently not directly feasible as the Trie ctor that take the entry tables is private. I could workaround by copying the following 'TrieEntry' struct and 'asTrie' function in my own code (which still happen to call the private ctor, but both dmd and ldc seem to accept it somehow) struct TrieEntry(T...) { size_t[] offsets; size_t[] sizes; size_t[] data; } safe pure nothrow auto asTrie(T...)(in TrieEntry!T e) { return const(CodepointTrie!T)(e.offsets, e.sizes, e.data); } --
