digitalmars.D.learn - Simple D Questions (static if / #pragma / int[3][3])
- Wes (10/10) Jul 26 2012 1. Is int[3,3] the same in memory as int[3][3]?
- bearophile (20/27) Jul 26 2012 Your first syntax is more like C#, not D.
- Simen Kjaeraas (5/7) Jul 26 2012 Now that'd be something. :p
- Jacob Carlborg (16/23) Jul 26 2012 D doesn't really have any of these, but you can emulate them. You can us...
1. Is int[3,3] the same in memory as int[3][3]? I can't really tell based on the description. http://dlang.org/arrays.html 2. Is there a command such as #error or #warning in D? I assume this is maybe #pragma (msg, "error message") static assert(0);? 3. Can you use static if() {} with the {} block? None of the examples had it. I know it's because of scope issues... but I'd hate to have to write static if(x) 5 times in a row for 5 variables.

Wes:1. Is int[3,3] the same in memory as int[3][3]? I can't really tell based on the description. http://dlang.org/arrays.htmlIn D there are fixed-sized arrays like your second one, and it's rectangular, it's nine adjacent integers. A dynamic array of length 3 of a dynamic of 3 integers, created like this: new int[][](3, 3) is a very different data structure. It's a 2-word that contains length and pointer, the pointer points to 3 2-words that contain length and pointer, each one pointing to a 3-int chunk of memory (plus on each row a bit of bookeeping for the GC and to append new items).2. Is there a command such as #error or #warning in D? I assume this is maybe #pragma (msg, "error message") static assert(0);?pragma(msg, "...") is for compile time messages. Maybe an alternative is to use: static assert(0, "..."); But in release mode it doesn't print the message.3. Can you use static if() {} with the {} block?Yes, also the "else" part supports the braces {}. But keep in mind the braces don't create a scope for the names. Bye, bearophile

You can use: pragma(msg, "warning: message") To emulate a warning. This will be printed during compilation. For #error you can use: static assert(0, "error message"); This will halt the compilation with the given message.3. Can you use static if() {} with the {} block? None of the examples had it. I know it's because of scope issues... but I'd hate to have to write static if(x) 5 times in a row for 5 variables.Yes, you can use {} after a static-if: static if (a) {} else {} Note that even though you use {} it will not introduce a new scope: import std.stdio; static if (true) { int a = 3; } void main () { writeln(a); } -- /Jacob Carlborg
