I'm working on a code generation tool and wanted to make sure my
module approach was correct. The generated code has a module
hierarchy, where modules can appear at any level of the hierarchy.
module foo;
module foo.bar;
In this case, module foo and foo.bar are independent modules.
The foo module does not publicly import foo.bar, like a typical
package.d module would do. At first I organized the modules like
this:
foo.d (module foo)
foo/bar.d (module foo.bar)
But this doesn't work because the module file foo.d, cannot have
the same name as a the directory foo. So now I organize it like
this:
foo/package.d (module foo)
foo/bar.d (module foo.bar)
This is not the typical usage for the "package.d" file.
Normally, package.d would publicly import other modules, however,
in this case, package.d is an independent module. This also
means that if another module was added, say foo.bar.baz, the new
file system would have to look like this:
foo/package.d (module foo)
foo/bar/package.d (module foo.bar)
foo/bar/baz.d (module foo.bar.baz)
This technique seems a bit odd, but it works. I'm just wondering
if there's a better way to achieve these semantics, or if this is
the appropriate solution?
