digitalmars.D.learn - Any way to get the name of a function?

void foo(){};

void main()

    auto funcs = [&foo, &bar];
}

I'm using this in a foreach loop and invoking each function with some
predefined arguments. But I'd also like to extract the name of each
function because each function does some image processing and then I
save that image to disk.

Basically I want to do:

    foreach (func; funcs)
    {
        func(arguments..);
        writeToFile(func.stringof);
    }

Obviously I can't use arrays since they don't hold any name
information, they just store the pointers.

Can I use tuples somehow? The functions are predefined, I just need to
iterate through all of them and call them and extract their name.

Maybe something like TypeTuple!(foo ,bar) will work.

I assume the function signatures are all the same? Then you can do an associative array: import std.stdio; int func1(int a) {return a + 1;} int func2(int a) {return a + 2;} int func3(int a) {return a + 3;} void main() { int function (int)[string] funcs = ["func1":&func1, \ "func2":&func2, "func3":&func3]; foreach(name, func; funcs) writef("%s %d\n", name, func(1)); } Perhaps a mixin would be helpful to limit cut-and-paste issues. If they are methods that are part of a class, you would need to declare them as "int delegate (int)[string] funcs".
