lms

Light-Weight Modular staging library for D langauge.

Popularization of dependency injection framework somehow shaded the bigger and more general technique - staging and staged computation.

This library ractifies that omission for the D language.

Members

BasicStage class BasicStage: Simple stage that keeps slots as key-value pairs in built-in AA.
Box class Box: Undocumented in source.
Constant class Constant(T): Simpliest of all - just a constant, stays the same, regardless of _stage_
Lift class Lift(T): Undocumented in source.
LmsEvaluationFailed class LmsEvaluationFailed: Undocumented in source.
LmsException class LmsException: Undocumented in source.
LmsNameConflict class LmsNameConflict: Undocumented in source.
LmsNameResolution class LmsNameResolution: Undocumented in source.
Slot class Slot(T): Slot - a placeholder for value, that will be provided at a later _stage_

assertThrows void assertThrows(T expr): Undocumented in source. Be warned that the author may not have intended to support it.
lift Lift!T lift(T value)
Lift!T lift(Lift!T lifted): Lift a simple constant

Stage interface Stage: Stage is equivalent to DI container (or rather DI is simple late-binding + basic form of staging) but the composition and execution of them is independent and encapsulated by Lift!T interface

Built with love based on the ideas in the paper:

Lightweight Modular Staging: A Pragmatic Approach to Runtime Code Generation and Compiled DSLs by Tiark Rompf and Martin Odersky.
