Hi,
recently I've been experimenting with metaprogramming in D. I've been
trying to create a simple compiler benchmark that can be used like the
following oversimplified code:
const time starttime = gettime();
mixin(code); // or any other metaprogramming activity (or even simple
code)
const time endtime = gettime();
pragma(msg, "Compiled in ", endtime - starttime);
It works fine with the exception of getting the current time.
Unfortunately, I've found no ctfe-capable library function to get the
time, and it turned out that special tokens like __TIME__ and its kind
are evaluated once during compilation, so it always returns the same
time for the same compilation unit.
Do you have any idea how to get the time in compile-time?
thanks
István
Currently not possible, as far as I know.
If you must, try instead to make a tiny program that launches DMD,
and times its running time.
