zig/lib/std / meta.zig

Returns the variant of an enum type, T, which is named str, or null if no such variant exists.

const std = @import("std.zig");
const debug = std.debug;
const mem = std.mem;
const math = std.math;
const testing = std.testing;
const root = @import("root");

TrailerFlags

meta/trailer_flags.zig

Returns the alignment of type T. Note that if T is a pointer type the result is different than the one returned by @alignOf(T). If T is a pointer type the alignment of the type it points to is returned.


pub const TrailerFlags = @import("meta/trailer_flags.zig").TrailerFlags;

stringToEnum()

Given a parameterized type (array, vector, pointer, optional), returns the "child type".


const Type = std.builtin.Type;

Test: stringToEnum

Given a "memory span" type (array, slice, vector, or pointer to such), returns the "element type".


test {
    _ = TrailerFlags;

a()

Given a type which can have a sentinel e.g. [:0]u8, returns the sentinel value, or null if there is not one. Types which cannot possibly have a sentinel will be a compile error. Result is always comptime-known.

}

Test: alignment

Given a "memory span" type, returns the same type except with the given sentinel value.

Instead of this function, prefer to use e.g. @typeInfo(foo).@"struct".decls directly when you know what kind of type it is.

}

Test: Child

Given an enum or error set type, returns a pointer to an array containing all tags for that enum or error set.

a()

Returns an enum with a variant named after each field of T.

a()

For a given function type, returns a tuple type which fields will correspond to the argument types. Examples: - ArgsTuple(fn () void)tuple { } - ArgsTuple(fn (a: u32) u32)tuple { u32 } - ArgsTuple(fn (a: u32, b: f16) noreturn)tuple { u32, f16 }

}

a()

For a given anonymous list of types, returns a new tuple type with those types as fields. Examples: - Tuple(&[_]type {})tuple { } - Tuple(&[_]type {f32})tuple { f32 } - Tuple(&[_]type {f32,u32})tuple { f32, u32 }
