--- Comment #1 from Dmitry Olshansky <dmitry.olsh at gmail.com> ---
> I have modeled these statically with D's fantastic modelling features to produce an object-oriented, easily-navigable hierarchy of the hardware memory map (example: https://github.com/JinShil/stm32f42_discovery_demo/blob/master/source/stm32f42/gpio.d).  It is an excellent model that generates fast code and plays very well with tooling.  The only problem is the TypeInfo bloat.


I'd just go for structs + template mixins for inheritance. It's not like you do
any of virtual calls/typeinfo/object factory/whatever.

mixin template Register(blah...){ }

struct Peripheral{

mixin Register!(x,y,z,...);
mixin Register!(q,w,e,...);

}

Makes any sesne?
