- enum
DiagnosticReporting: ubyte; - Defines a setting for how compiler warnings and deprecations are handled
error- generate an error
inform- generate a warning
off- disable diagnostic
- enum
JsonFieldFlags: uint; - Each flag represents a field that can be included in the JSON output.
NOTE set type to uint so its size matches C++ unsigned type
- enum
CppStdRevision: uint; - Version of C++ standard to support
- enum
FeatureState: ubyte; - Trivalent boolean to represent the state of a revertable change
default_- Not specified by the user
disabled- Specified as -revert=
enabled- Specified as -preview=
- enum
CLIIdentifierTable: ubyte; - Different identifier tables specifiable by CLI
default_- Not specified by user
C99- Tables from C99 standard
C11- Tables from C11 standard
UAX31- Tables from the Unicode Standard Annex 31: UNICODE IDENTIFIERS AND SYNTAX
All- The least restrictive set of all other tables
- enum
ErrorPrintMode: ubyte; - Specifies the mode for error printing
- struct
Help; - Command line state related to printing usage about other switches
- struct
Param; - Put command line switches in here
- bool
timeTrace; - Whether profiling of compile time is enabled
- uint
timeTraceGranularityUs; - In microseconds, minimum event size to report
- const(char)*
timeTraceFile; - File path of output file
- @safe bool
parsingUnittestsRequired();
- struct
Global; - Collection of global compiler settings and global state used by the frontend
- const(char)[]
inifilename; - filename of configuration file as given by -conf=, or default value
- Array!ImportPathInfo
path; - Array of path informations which form the import lookup path
- Array!(const(char)*)
importPaths; - Array of char*'s which form the import lookup path without metadata
- Array!(const(char)*)
filePath; - Array of char*'s which form the file import lookup path
- char[26]
datetime; - string returned by ctime()
- Param
params; - command line parameters
- uint
errors; - number of errors reported so far
- uint
deprecations; - number of deprecations reported so far
- uint
warnings; - number of warnings reported so far
- uint
gag; - !=0 means gag reporting of errors & warnings
- uint
gaggedErrors; - number of errors reported while gagged
- uint
gaggedWarnings; - number of warnings reported while gagged
- void*
console; - opaque pointer to console for controlling text attributes
- Array!Identifier
versionids; - command line versions and predefined versions
- Array!Identifier
debugids; - command line debug versions and predefined versions
- bool
hasMainFunction; - Whether a main function has already been compiled in (for -main switch)
- uint
varSequenceNumber; - Relative lifetime of VarDeclaration within a function, used for scope checks
- FileManager
fileManager; - Cache files read from disk
- enum int
recursionLimit; - number of recursive template expansions before abort
- ErrorSink
errorSink; - where the error messages go
- ErrorSink
errorSinkNull; - where the error messages are ignored
- nothrow @safe uint
startGagging(); - Start ignoring compile errors instead of reporting them.Used for speculative compilation like __traits(compiles, XXX), but also internally to e.g. try out an alias this rewrite without comitting to it. Works like a stack, so N calls to
startGaggingshould be paired with N calls to endGagging.Returns:the current number of gagged errors, which should later be passed to endGagging - nothrow @safe bool
endGagging(uintoldGagged); - Stop gagging, restoring the old gagged state before the most recent call to startGagging.Parameters:
uint oldGaggedthe previous number of errors, as returned by startGagging Returns:true if errors occurred while gagged. - nothrow @safe void
increaseErrorCount(); - Increment the error count to record that an error has occurred in the current context.An error message may or may not have been printed.
- nothrow void
deinitialize(); - Deinitializes the global state of the compiler.This can be used to restore the state set by _init to its original state.
- nothrow void
plugErrorSinks(); - Indicate to stateful error sinks that no more errors can be produced. This is to support error sinks that collect information to produce a single (say) report.
- nothrow @safe uint
versionNumber(); - Returns:the version as the number that would be returned for __VERSION__
- nothrow @safe string
versionString(); - Returns:compiler version string.
- nothrow const(char*)
versionChars(); - Returns:compiler version as char string.
- Global
global; - Collection of global state
