digitalmars.D.learn - Q: Determining array type

- Myron Alexander (2/20) May 19 2007 Thanks, rather ingenious.
Hello. How do you determine if a type is an array? I saw the hack in std.boxer but was wondering if there is a language standard / better way. Regards, Myron.

Regards, Myron.Here's what I would do. template isArray(T) { const isArray=false; } template isArray(T: T[]) { const isArray=true; } Beware though, this was not extensively tested. From what I can see, it _should_ work, and also does in simple test cases, but that's no guarantee. Use it like "[static] if (isArray!(Type)) { do stuff here } "
