It does not, but it does have a mechanism to have a somewhat limited subset of D code be evaluated at compile time (which is actually far more powerful than a preprocessor) It also has an explicit mechanism for conditional compilation, which would apply here; https://dlang.org/spec/version.html has the details on how that works. -- Could you people please use IRC like normal people?!? -- Amaya Rodrigo Sastre, trying to quiet down the buzz in the DebConf 2008 Hacklab
