Hello all,
I've just been reading through this page: http://dlang.org/version.html
Is there a way to put in place a conditional segment of code that is
included if the code is _not_ compiled with the -release flag?
Of course I can put in a debug statement, but that would require me to
compile with -debug. I'd like the opposite, that unless I explicitly
specify the code as release-ready, the specified set of checks will be
performed.
The reason I'm asking is because the checks I want to perform are of the
form,
foreach(x; myVeryLargeArray) {
assert(/* ... some condition about x */);
}
... and I'm concerned that with the foreach() loop in place, it will
slow down the code even if the assert() statements are ignored at
compile time. So I'd like to be able to do something instead like,
version(!release)
{
foreach(x; myVeryLargeArray) {
assert(/* ... some condition about x */);
}
}
... is this possible?
Thanks & best wishes,

assert({
/* code you want to execute in non-release mode */
return true;
}());
