In my prior PRs (#2647, #2644, #2643, #2634), I did not realize we actually publish documentation on the internal API. This PR repairs that:

cc @Vild. I'm sorry, but I was wrong about not needing to document these; they need to be documented in the "Internal API" docs. You'll just need to add an entry to the mak/DOCS file for any new files.

I'd like to remove the runtime lowerings from the object.d documentation, but I haven't yet found a solution to that. I thought versioning it out with version(CoreDoc) would work, but it didn't because these templates are necessary for correct language behavior. I'm investigating other methods.

Thanks for your pull request and interest in making D better, @JinShil! We are looking forward to reviewing it, and you should be hearing from a maintainer soon.
Please verify that your PR follows this checklist:

  • My PR is fully covered with tests (you can see the annotated coverage diff directly on GitHub with CodeCov's browser extension
  • My PR is as minimal as possible (smaller, focused PRs are easier to review than big ones)
  • I have provided a detailed rationale explaining my changes
  • New or modified functions have Ddoc comments (with Params: and Returns:)

Please see CONTRIBUTING.md for more information.


If you have addressed all reviews or aren't sure how to proceed, don't hesitate to ping us with a simple comment.

I'm not sure what the problem here is? It's clearly marked as internal API, no?

Edit: I see you want to document them. Nevermind. Sorry.

Yes, but it is publicly available at https://dlang.org/phobos/index.html

Currently it looks like this:

After this PR it will look like this:

So, this PR adds the new rt/array files, to maintain the status quo.

Nothing in rt should be called directly by the user, but it is, nevertheless, currently documented and published at https://dlang.org/phobos/index.html

Yeah, it was an effort I made once to improve the documentation for developers.
Though most symbols don't have Ddoc comments, so while it's always welcome to improve the status quo / keep it, for now it's a failed effort.

We need to know which way to go though. If you'd like to maintain the status quo, please approve this PR. Otherwise, let me know what you'd like to do; should I submit an alternate PR to remove the rt folder from the docs?

I expect nothing. Just wanted to point that out.

Of course it's not a big deal if we don't have documentation for all internal APIs, but we should strive have it regardless, as this helps the work of most contributors.
