.NET 8.0

Builds on type of the ConstTypeArgs.Core library to provide const type arguments that allow you to use type parameters to pass UInt128 values to generics at compile-time. This provides an analog to type specialization in C++, and can be used for scenarios such as: * Static configuration, * Eliminating unnecessary instance constructors, * "Passing" values to type initializers, * And more. Built-in const type arguments include values for 0 to 16 and others. Here's a simple demonstration showing how to define and use const type arguments and domain-specific type arguments: using ConstTypeArgs.UInt128s; // Const type arguments: public readonly struct _8 : K_UInt128<_8> { public static UInt128 Value => 8; } public readonly struct _64_000 : K_UInt128<_64_000> { public static UInt128 Value => 64000; } public abstract class DefaultSize : UInt128<_64_000> { } // Usage: public class Foo<TSize> where TSize : K_UInt128 { public static readonly UInt128 BigArraySize = TSize.Value; // Code to initialize very large arrays. static Foo() { Console.WriteLine($"Big array size is {BigArraySize.Length}"); } } // Elsewhere var foo = new Foo<_8>(); // Outputs "Big array size is 8" foo = new Foo<DefaultSize>(); // Outputs "Big array size is 32"
