digitalmars.D.learn - How does one determine the UDAs of all symbols contained in a given
- Andrew Edwards (32/32) Jul 19 2017 Given a module (somepackage.somemodule) how does one
- Nicholas Wilson (6/38) Jul 19 2017 You'll want to use https://dlang.org/spec/traits.html#getMember

- Andrew Edwards (7/16) Jul 19 2017 Thanks Jacob and Nicholas... Brian Schott helped me out a bit on
- Jacob Carlborg (22/26) Jul 19 2017 Here's an example:
- Andrew Edwards (17/18) Jul 20 2017 Thanks... Minus the AliasSeq bit, this is pretty much what I've
- Jacob Carlborg (5/9) Jul 24 2017 Ah, yes. That's a known problem. I think it was agreed that everything
Given a module (somepackage.somemodule) how does one programmatically determine the symbols contained therein and associated UDAs? Where symbol is a variable, function, UDT, etc... is this possible? foreach (symbol; somepackage.somemodule) { writeln(symbol.name, " attributes :") foreach(attribute; symbol) { writeln("\t", attribute); } } I've looked at std.traits but for the most part the functionality I saw there only allowed me to grab attributes I already know of from symbols I already know... for instance: ("bold") string boldText; getUDAs!(boldText, "bold"); This also does not allow retrieving attributes from functions with void return-type. So this wouldn't work: ("bold") void decorateText(ref string data); getUDAs!(decorateText, "bold"); // Error: cannot deduce function from arguments types !()(void, string); What I'd like to do is open a module and evaluate each variable, instance variable, member variable, function, member function, etc... to see what UDAs they carry. Please provide code sample or point me toward the appropriate documentation. Again, I've looked at std.traits (https://dlang.org/phobos/std_traits.html) and the related implementation (https://github.com/dlang/phobos/blob/master/std/traits.d#L7378-L7760) but found nothing that would help me toward this end... or maybe I've missed something? Thanks, Andrew

Thanks, AndrewYou'll want to use https://dlang.org/spec/traits.html#getMember in conjunction with https://dlang.org/spec/traits.html#getAttributes. Have a look some of the projects on github e.g. https://github.com/kaleidicassociates/excel-d/blob/master/source/xlld/wrap.d#L686

I'll check out the warp.d examples Nicholas linked to above.Here's an example: module mainMod; import std.meta; (1, 2) void foo() {} ("asd") void bar() {} void main() { foreach (m ; __traits(allMembers, mainMod)) { alias udas = AliasSeq!(__traits(getAttributes, mixin(m))); static if (udas.length > 0) pragma(msg, udas); } } And in runnable form [1]. This will iterate all members of the "mainMod" module and print all the UDAs, if the member has any. IF you want to access the UDAs of any classes or structs, then you need to recursively iterate the members. [1] https://is.gd/segmDD -- /Jacob Carlborg
