Hello. I am trying to implement a templated struct containing a data member created by std.variant.Algebraic instantiated with the struct's template parameters.
The problem is, I want to template the struct with e.g. arrays (lists, etc.) of its own type. I don't know any way to do this without ugly string mixin code. I'm not sure if I can explain this clearly, so here's some code: import std.variant; struct Node(Types ...) { Algebraic!(Types) value; //other members, etc... } unittest { //this works Node!(string, int) node1; //this is what I want, but I can't do it, since //Node must be templated Node!(Node[], string, int) node1; } //Now, I can get around this with a string mixin: //(just one argument in this example, but it // could be variadic with more complex code) struct Node2(string t) { mixin("private alias " ~ t ~ " Type;"); Algebraic!(Type) value; } unittest { //works, but ugly Node2!("Node2[]") node; } Is there any way to do this without string mixins? (in case this is proposed: I specifically need structs, not classes. I know I could do this with templated derived classes storing an array/list/whatever with parent class type. Thanks for any help.
