Re: mixin assembler does not work?

[bearophile via Digitalmars-d-learn]

enum Vala(uint count, alias arr) = format("
    asm {
        sub ESP, %d;     // Reserve 'count' bytes
        mov %s, %d;      // Set a.length = 'count'
        mov %s + 4, ESP; // Set &a[0] to reserved bytes
    }", count, arr.stringof, count, arr.stringof);

I'd like to write that more like this:


enum Vala(uint count, alias arr) = format("
    asm {
        sub ESP, %%(count);              // Reserve 'count' bytes
        mov %%(arr.stringof), %%(count); // Set a.length = 'count'
        mov %%(arr.stringof) + 4, ESP;   // Set &a[0] to reserved 
bytes
    }");
