/**
This module implements a variety of type constructors, i.e., templates
that allow construction of new, useful general-purpose types.

Synopsis:

----
// value tuples
alias Tuple!(float, "x", float, "y", float, "z") Coord;
Coord c;
c[1] = 1;       // access by index
c.z = 1;        // access by given name
alias Tuple!(string, string) DicEntry; // names can be omitted

// Rebindable references to const and immutable objects
void bar()
{
    const w1 = new Widget, w2 = new Widget;
    w1.foo();
    // w1 = w2 would not work; can't rebind const object
    auto r = Rebindable!(const Widget)(w1);
    // invoke method as if r were a Widget object
    r.foo();
    // rebind r to refer to another object
    r = w2;
}

/**
Tuple of values, for example $(D Tuple!(int, string)) is a record that
stores an $(D int) and a $(D string). $(D Tuple) can be used to bundle
values together, notably when returning multiple values from a
function. If $(D obj) is a tuple, the individual members are
accessible with the syntax $(D obj[0]) for the first field, $(D obj[1])
for the second, and so on.

The choice of zero-based indexing instead of one-base indexing was
motivated by the ability to use value tuples with various compile-time
loop constructs (e.g. type tuple iteration), all of which use
zero-based indexing.

Example:

----
Tuple!(int, int) point;
// assign coordinates
point[0] = 5;
point[1] = 6;
// read coordinates
auto x = point[0];
auto y = point[1];
----

Tuple members can be named. It is legal to mix named and unnamed
members. The method above is still applicable to all fields.

Example:

----
alias Tuple!(int, "index", string, "value") Entry;
Entry e;
e.index = 4;
e.value = "Hello";
assert(e[1] == "Hello");
assert(e[0] == 4);
----

Tuples with named fields are distinct types from tuples with unnamed
fields, i.e. each naming imparts a separate type for the tuple. Two
tuple differing in naming only are still distinct, even though they
might have the same structure.

Example:

----
Tuple!(int, "x", int, "y") point1;
Tuple!(int, int) point2;
assert(!is(typeof(point1) == typeof(point2))); // passes

/**
$(D Rebindable!(T)) is a simple, efficient wrapper that behaves just
like an object of type $(D T), except that you can reassign it to
refer to another object. For completeness, $(D Rebindable!(T)) aliases
itself away to $(D T) if $(D T) is a non-const object type. However,
$(D Rebindable!(T)) does not compile if $(D T) is a non-class type.

Regular $(D const) object references cannot be reassigned:

----
class Widget { int x; int y() const { return a; } }
const a = new Widget;
a.y();          // fine
a.x = 5;        // error! can't modify const a
a = new Widget; // error! can't modify const a
----

However, $(D Rebindable!(Widget)) does allow reassignment, while
otherwise behaving exactly like a $(D const Widget):

----
auto a = Rebindable!(const Widget)(new Widget);
a.y();          // fine
a.x = 5;        // error! can't modify const a
a = new Widget; // fine
----

You may want to use $(D Rebindable) when you want to have mutable
storage referring to $(D const) objects, for example an array of
references that must be sorted in place. $(D Rebindable) does not
break the soundness of D's type system and does not incur any of the
risks usually associated with $(D cast).

/**
$(D AutoImplement) automatically implements (by default) all abstract member
functions in the class or interface $(D Base) in specified way.

Params:
  how  = template which specifies _how functions will be implemented/overridden.

         Two arguments are passed to $(D how): the type $(D Base) and an alias
         to an implemented function.  Then $(D how) must return an implemented
         function body as a string.

         The generated function body can use these keywords:
         $(UL
            $(LI $(D a0), $(D a1), &hellip;: arguments passed to the function;)
            $(LI $(D args): a tuple of the arguments;)
            $(LI $(D self): an alias to the function itself;)
            $(LI $(D parent): an alias to the overridden function (if any).)
         )

        You may want to use templated property functions (instead of Implicit
        Template Properties) to generate complex functions:
--------------------
// Prints log messages for each call to overridden functions.
string generateLogger(C, alias fun)() @property
{
    enum qname = C.stringof ~ "." ~ __traits(identifier, fun);
    string stmt;

    stmt ~= q{ struct Importer { import std.stdio; } };
    stmt ~= `Importer.writeln$(LPAREN)"Log: ` ~ qname ~ `(", args, ")"$(RPAREN);`;
    static if (!__traits(isAbstractFunction, fun))
    {
        static if (is(typeof(return) == void))
            stmt ~= q{ parent(args); };
        else
            stmt ~= q{
                auto r = parent(args);
                Importer.writeln("--> ", r);
                return r;
            };
    }
    return stmt;
}
--------------------

  what = template which determines _what functions should be
         implemented/overridden.

         An argument is passed to $(D what): an alias to a non-final member
         function in $(D Base).  Then $(D what) must return a boolean value.
         Return $(D true) to indicate that the passed function should be
         implemented/overridden.

--------------------
// Sees if fun returns something.
template hasValue(alias fun)
{
    enum bool hasValue = !is(ReturnType!(fun) == void);
}
--------------------


Note:

Generated code is inserted in the scope of $(D std.typecons) module.  Thus,
any useful functions outside $(D std.typecons) cannot be used in the generated
code.  To workaround this problem, you may $(D import) necessary things in a
local struct, as done in the $(D generateLogger()) template in the above
example.


BUGS:

$(UL
 $(LI Variadic arguments to constructors are not forwarded to super.)
 $(LI Deep interface inheritance causes compile error with messages like
      "Error: function std.typecons._AutoImplement!(Foo)._AutoImplement.bar
      does not override any function".  [$(BUGZILLA 2525), $(BUGZILLA 3525)] )
 $(LI The $(D parent) keyword is actually a delegate to the super class'
      corresponding member function.  [$(BUGZILLA 2540)] )
 $(LI Using alias template parameter in $(D how) and/or $(D what) may cause
     strange compile error.  Use template tuple parameter instead to workaround
     this problem.  [$(BUGZILLA 4217)] )

Defines a reference-counted object containing a $(D T) value as
payload. $(D RefCounted) keeps track of all references of an object,
and when the reference count goes down to zero, frees the underlying
store. $(D RefCounted) uses $(D malloc) and $(D free) for operation.

$(D RefCounted) is unsafe and should be used with care. No references
to the payload should be escaped outside the $(D RefCounted) object.

The $(D autoInit) option makes the object ensure the store is
automatically initialized. Leaving $(D autoInit ==
RefCountedAutoInitialize.yes) (the default option) is convenient but
has the cost of a test whenever the payload is accessed. If $(D
autoInit == RefCountedAutoInitialize.no), user code must call either
$(D refCountedIsInitialized) or $(D refCountedEnsureInitialized)
before attempting to access the payload. Not doing so results in null
pointer dereference.

Example:
----
// A pair of an $(D int) and a $(D size_t) - the latter being the
// reference count - will be dynamically allocated
auto rc1 = RefCounted!int(5);
assert(rc1 == 5);
// No more allocation, add just one extra reference count
auto rc2 = rc1;
// Reference semantics
rc2 = 42;
assert(rc1 == 42);
// the pair will be freed when rc1 and rc2 go out of scope

/**
Defines a simple, self-documenting yes/no flag. This makes it easy for
APIs to define functions accepting flags without resorting to $(D
bool), which is opaque in calls, and without needing to define an
enumerated type separately. Using $(D Flag!"Name") instead of $(D
bool) makes the flag's meaning visible in calls. Each yes/no flag has
its own type, which makes confusions and mix-ups impossible.

Example:
----
// Before
string getLine(bool keepTerminator)
{
    ...
    if (keepTerminator) ...
    ...
}
...
// Code calling getLine (usually far away from its definition) can't
// be understood without looking at the documentation, even by users
// familiar with the API. Assuming the reverse meaning
// (i.e. "ignoreTerminator") and inserting the wrong code compiles and
// runs with erroneous results.
auto line = getLine(false);

// After
string getLine(Flag!"KeepTerminator" keepTerminator)
{
    ...
    if (keepTerminator) ...
    ...
}
...
// Code calling getLine can be easily read and understood even by
// people not fluent with the API.
auto line = getLine(Flag!"KeepTerminator".yes);
----

Passing categorical data by means of unstructured $(D bool)
parameters is classified under "simple-data coupling" by Steve
McConnell in the $(LUCKY Code Complete) book, along with three other
kinds of coupling. The author argues citing several studies that
coupling has a negative effect on code quality. $(D Flag) offers a
simple structuring method for passing yes/no flags to APIs.

As a perk, the flag's name may be any string and as such can include
characters not normally allowed in identifiers, such as
spaces and dashes.
