Session 2 Comptime Type Reflection And Compiling To C
Presentation On Reflection In C Pdf C Sharp Programming Language I add strings. i add builtins for concatenating strings, crashing the program, and inspecting types during compile time. i refactor a lot of code and i compi. It is all on one page so you can search with your browser's search tool. the code samples in this document are compiled and tested as part of the main test suite of zig. this html document depends on no external files, so you can use it offline.
Lecturesession 1 2 Pdf C Computer Programming Guide agents through zig's comptime system: compile time function evaluation, comptime type parameters, generics via anytype, type reflection with @typeinfo, and metaprogramming patterns that replace c templates and macros. We can reflect upon types using the built in @typeinfo, which takes in a type and returns a tagged union. this tagged union type can be found in std.builtin.type (info on how to make use of imports and std later). Combining zig's comptime and reflection features to build a useful assertion function. i've been writing a virtual machine in zig based on the simple lc 3 isa. there are a some powerful features baked into zig but overall it feels like a focused attempt at a modern c. Zig's metaprogramming is driven by a few basic concepts: blocks of code may be forcibly executed at compile time using the comptime keyword. in this example, the variables x and y are equivalent. integer literals are of the type comptime int.

Harnessing compile time reflection in the zig language is one of the powerful concepts that allows developers access and manipulation of the details about their code in the compilation process rather than runtime. One of zig’s most powerful features is its ability to run code at compile time. this enables code generation, validation, and optimizations that would be much harder (or impossible) in many other languages. In c based languages, you will often see the preprocessor used to conditionally disable code. here's an example: this is effectively templating code at compile time. the preprocessor will run first, transform the code (at the text level), and then the compiler will compile the code. Combined with having types as values we get both type specializaton, generics, reflection, and even code generation. for readers who are not familiar with zig, here's a small example.
