I have a template that is suppose to create a type based on a
template parameter
static if (T == "int")
{
auto x = New!int();
}
else static if (T == "double")
{
auto x = New!double();
}
x = 1.234;
This is just an example, I use custom types.
The static if's prevent x's scope from being after them, even
though it should work perfectly fine. I can't declare x before
because I don't know the type.
The point is that I don't want to have to put x = 1.234; in each
static if block when I should be able to do it perfectly fine
afterwards.
My types that I'm creating all have a name field and I want to
set it once after the object is created.
Luckily, all of them inherit from the same type and I can declare
that before the static if block, but in general, that won't work.
I feel that in this case I feel that the scope of the static if
should allow things to escape since, well, they are static if's.
It would be similar to #ifdef.
I realize that D doesn't work this way, I'm asking for a nicer
solution than having to duplicate the same code(x = 1.234 in this
example) or having use a base class.
