Brief Unstandard content description
ExtractTypes trait
Members:
Pulls:
no.
Description:
Useful for serialization algorithms which need to know all composing types.
ArrayElementType trait
Members:
Pulls:
Phobos pull 776, closed by Andrei Alexandrescu
Description:
A convenient template to retrieve array element type for template programming purposes. Phobos's std.range.ElementEncodingType should be used only if array is treated as a range, otherwise it reduces templated code readability and looks inconsistent because many templates are from "differen world" and don't have to know anything about ranges.
Multidimensional static array traits
Members:
unstd.traits.staticArrayDims
unstd.traits.MultidimStaticArrayElementType
unstd.traits.multidimStaticArrayElementCount
unstd.traits.multidimStaticArrayLengths
Pulls:
Partially (except multidimStaticArrayLengths) in Phobos pull 924 (open).
Description:
These templates are needed for analysing multidimensional static arrays.
Function converting everything into a static array
Members:
Pulls:
Phobos pull 952 (open)
Description:
asFlatStaticArray adds an ability to view any abject as a single-dimensional static array which is very useful for template code as it eliminates error-prone need to create branches and recursion for static-arrays support.
Sliceable multidimensional array
Members:
unstd.multidimarray.MultidimArray
unstd.multidimarray.multidimArray
Pulls:
no.
Description:
unstd.multidimarray module adds ability to slice multidimensional rectangular arrays and ranges to iterate slices.
Generic tuple general templates
Members:
unstd.generictuple.GenericTuple
unstd.generictuple.TypeTuple
unstd.generictuple.expressionTuple
Pulls:
Phobos pull 780 (open).
Description:
There should be at least both GenericTuple and TypeTuple as the latter is a common usecase of generic tuples. E.g. TypeTuple is used ~70% of generic tuple usage in Phobos.
Packed generic tuple templates
Members:
unstd.generictuple.PackedGenericTuple
unstd.generictuple.PackedTypeTuple
unstd.generictuple.packedExpressionTuple
unstd.traits.isPackedTuple
Pulls:
no.
Description:
Useful when passing more than one generic tuple to a template.

Pulls:
no.
Description:
Templates for generic tuple creation by analogy with range creation functions from std.range.
Generic tuple algorithm templates
Members:
unstd.generictuple.cmpTuple
unstd.generictuple.equalTuple
unstd.generictuple.FilterTuple
unstd.generictuple.groupTuple
unstd.generictuple.JoinTuple
unstd.generictuple.MapTuple
unstd.generictuple.ReduceTuple
unstd.generictuple.UniqTuple
Pulls:
no.
Description:
Templates for various algorithms on generic tuples by analogy with range algorithm functions from std.algorithm.
Template creating a set of flags
Members:
Pulls:
no.
Description:
Creates a set of flags for which any non-flag operations ar prohibited.
Commonly needed in programming integer mathematical functions related to powers of 2
Members:
unstd.math.isPowerOf2
unstd.math.roundDownToPowerOf2
unstd.math.roundUpToPowerOf2
unstd.math.log2RoundedDown
unstd.math.log2RoundedUp
unstd.math.alignDown
unstd.math.alignUp
Pulls:
no.
Description:
It is just too commonly needed to not include it in a standard library forsing almost everybody to spend time writing such functions.
Instantiate template
Members:
Pulls:
no.
Description:
A convenience util to instantiate templates needed because of D syntax issues.
Create template from string
Members:
unstd.templates.Template
unstd.templates.UnaryTemplate
unstd.templates.BinaryTemplate
unstd.templates.unaryPred
unstd.templates.binaryPred
Pulls:
no.
Description:
A stuff for creating templates from strings.
Bind template arguments
Members:
unstd.templates.BindTemplate
unstd.templates.Bind
Pulls:
no.
Description:
A stuff for binding templates arguments.
Combine template predicates
Members:
unstd.templates.notTemplate
unstd.templates.andTemplates
unstd.templates.orTemplates
Pulls:
no.
Description:
A stuff for combining template predicates.
Function finalizing class instance referenced by its argument
Members:
unstd.lifetime.finalizeClassInstance
Pulls:
Druntime pull 344, closed by Andrei Alexandrescu
Description:
finalizeClassInstance accepts anly a class or an interface as against tricky (IMO needless, error-prone, and inconsistent) Druntime's destroy.
TypeInfo functions analogs
Members:
unstd.lifetime.setToInitialState
unstd.lifetime.setElementsToInitialState
unstd.lifetime.callPostblits
unstd.lifetime.callDestructors
Pulls:
Phobos pull 928 (open)
Description:
Use these functions instead of dealing with tricky typeid(T).
Add destruct function
Members:
Pulls:
Phobos pull 929, closed by Andrei Alexandrescu
Description:
A function for object destruction which do exactly the same a compiler do in a case an object goes out of scope.
Function for binary memory copying
Members:
Pulls:
no.
Description:
This function is fast and CTFE-able and is a preffered way over C's memcpy and memmove.
Add move and dependent forward functions
Members:
unstd.lifetime.move
unstd.lifetime.forward
Pulls:
Phobos pull 923 (open)
Description:
Added move is a fixed and improved analog of std.algorithm.move. Added forward is just a copy of std.algorithm.forward implementation except it uses fixed move.
Add object construction functions
Members:
unstd.lifetime.constructFrom
unstd.lifetime.constructFromLiteral
Pulls:
Ideas of these functions are used in std.conv.emplace fix from Phobos pull 949 (open).
Description:
A functions for object construction which do exactly the same a compiler do initializing an object like T t = arg; or auto s = S(args); if S is a struct type.
Add class instance initialization function
Members:
unstd.lifetime.initializeClassInstance
Pulls:
no.
Description:
A functions for class instance initialization which do exactly the same a compiler do initializing an object like auto c = new C(args); if C is a class type except given memory is used instead of allocating.
