assumeSafeAppend
inout(T[]) assumeSafeAppend(inout(T[]) arr)

Assume that it is safe to append to this array. Appends made to this array after calling this function may append in place, even if the array was a slice of a larger array to begin with.

byKey
auto byKey(T aa)
auto byKey(T* aa)

Returns a forward range which will iterate over the keys of the associative array. The keys are returned by reference.

byKeyValue
auto byKeyValue(T aa)
auto byKeyValue(T* aa)

Returns a forward range which will iterate over the key-value pairs of the associative array. The returned pairs are represented by an opaque type with .key and .value properties for accessing references to the key and value of the pair, respectively.

byValue
auto byValue(T aa)
auto byValue(T* aa)

Returns a forward range which will iterate over the values of the associative array. The values are returned by reference.

clear
void clear(Value[Key] aa)
void clear(Value[Key]* aa)

Removes all remaining keys and values from an associative array.

destroy
void destroy(T obj)

Destroys the given object and optionally resets to initial state. It's used to destroy an object, calling its destructor or finalizer so it no longer references any other objects. It does not initiate a GC cycle or free any GC memory. If initialize is supplied false, the object is considered invalid after destruction, and should not be referenced.

dup
V[K] dup(T aa)
V[K] dup(T* aa)

Creates a new associative array of the same size and copies the contents of the associative array into it.

get
inout(V) get(inout(V[K]) aa, K key, inout(V) defaultValue)
inout(V) get(inout(V[K])* aa, K key, inout(V) defaultValue)

Looks up key; if it exists returns corresponding value else evaluates and returns defaultValue.

hashOf
size_t hashOf(T arg, size_t seed)
size_t hashOf(T arg)

Calculates the hash value of arg with an optional seed initial value. The result might not be equal to typeid(T).getHash(&arg).

hashOf (from core.internal.hash)
size_t hashOf(T aa, size_t seed) via public import core.internal.hash : hashOf;
Undocumented in source.
keys
Key[] keys(T aa)
Key[] keys(T* aa)

Returns a newly allocated dynamic array containing a copy of the keys from the associative array.

opEquals
bool opEquals(LHS lhs, RHS rhs)

Implementation for class opEquals override. Calls the class-defined methods after a null check. Please note this is not nogc right now, even if your implementation is, because of the typeinfo name string compare. This is because of dmd's dll implementation. However, it can infer to @safe if your class' opEquals is.

rehash
T rehash(T aa)
T rehash(T* aa)

Reorganizes the associative array in place so that lookups are more efficient.

require
V require(V[K] aa, K key, V value)

Looks up key; if it exists returns corresponding value else evaluates value, adds it to the associative array and returns it.

reserve
size_t reserve(T[] arr, size_t newcapacity)

Reserves capacity for a slice. The capacity is the size that the slice can grow to before the underlying array must be reallocated or extended.

update
void update(V[K] aa, K key, C create, U update)

Calls create if key doesn't exist in the associative array, otherwise calls update. create returns a corresponding value for key. update accepts a key parameter. If it returns a value, the value is set for key.

values
Value[] values(T aa)
Value[] values(T* aa)

Returns a newly allocated dynamic array containing a copy of the values from the associative array.

Properties

capacity
size_t capacity [@property getter]

(Property) Gets the current capacity of a slice. The capacity is the size that the slice can grow to before the underlying array must be reallocated or extended.

auto dup [@property getter]
T[] dup [@property getter]

Provide the .dup array property.

idup
immutable(T)[] idup [@property getter]

_d_cmain (from core.internal.entrypoint)
template _d_cmain() via public import core.internal.entrypoint : _d_cmain;

A template containing C main and any call(s) to initialize druntime and call D main. Any module containing a D main function declaration will cause the compiler to generate a mixin _d_cmain(); statement to inject this code into the module.

_d_delstructImpl (from core.lifetime)
template _d_delstructImpl(T) via public import core.lifetime : _d_delstructImpl;

Implementation of _d_delstruct and _d_delstructTrace

imported
template imported(string moduleName)

Provides an "inline import", i.e. an import that is only available for a limited lookup. For example:

Variables

rtinfoNoPointers
enum immutable(void)* rtinfoNoPointers;

shortcuts for the precise GC, also generated by the compiler used instead of the actual pointer bitmap
