Module bolts.experimental.refraction
This module helps building functions from other functions.
It is sometimes necessary to create a function which is an exact copy of another function. Or sometimes it is necessary to introduce a few variations, while carrying all the other aspects. Because of function attributes, parameter storage classes and user-defined attributes, this requires building a string mixin. In addition, the mixed-in code must refer only to local names, if it is to work across module boundaires. This problem and its solution are by Adam D. Ruppe in a Tip of the Week, available here:

This module facilitates the creation of such mixins.
Functions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
functionsOf()
|
Return an array of Function objects, refracting the functions in Scope
for which IncludePredicate evaluates to true, using the value of
localName to represent Scope. IncludePredicate is optional; if not
specified, refract all the functions. The overloadIndex property of each
Function is set to the index of the function in its *entire* overload set
(i.e. including the overloads that may have been excluded by
IncludePredicate).
|
refract()
|
Return a Function object that captures all the aspects of fun, using the
value of localName to represent the return and parameter types, and the
UDAs. Set the Function's overloadIndex property to index, or to -1 if
it is not specified.
|
Structs
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
Function
|
A struct capturing all the aspects of a function necessary to produce a string mixin that re-creates the function (excepting the body). |
Parameter
|
A struct capturing all the properties of a function parameter. |
Aliases
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
ParameterAttribute
|
Alias!(__traits(getAttributes,P[i..i+1])[j])
|
Return an alias to the j-th user-define attribute of the i-th parameter
of fun.
