Please confirm that mixins of format:
You really shouldn't use string mixins like this at all. If you
want to work with a variable, pass the variable itself as an
argument to the function and use it with regular code instead
of passing names as strings.
void do_something(alias v)() {
// use v like a normal variable
}
int a;
do_someting!a; // pass the variable a as an alias so you can
use it inside
The object was to take a variable, and do alternative things with
it depending on (say) whether it was an 'int' or an 'int*'.
Since entirely possible (indeed likely) that operations on 'int'
invalid or meaningless with 'int*', to me seemed better to find a
way that at _compile-time_ detected the difference, and only
generated code valid for the type used.
Originally, there were mixins that only coped with each type.
These work, but a chore to update mixin name as variable type
changed.
So idea is just one mixin which can compile-time detect variable
type
and generate appropriate code.
Got it to work, except for this scoping issue...
