I have some code like
void foo()
{
// setup stuff
int x;
scope(exit) something;
//
x = 34;
}
....
void foon()
{
// setup stuff
int x;
scope(exit) something;
//
}
All the setup stuff is virtually identical in each foo. There are
slight differences such as a return value.
I would like to abstract the code code so that it can be handled
in one place.
I have not found a way to do this in D. Template mixins do not
work because of the arbitrary expressions. Putting the code in a
template/function/lambda does not work because of the scopes
which will be called when the main function exists.
A string mixin is too messy since it treats the code as a string
losing all syntax highlighting, etc.
I'd love to have something like a template mixin where I can just
do
mixin template fooSetup(ret)
{
// setup stuff
int x;
scope(exit) something;
}
and
void foo()
{
fooSetup(3);
}
void foo4()
{
fooSetup(13);
}
and everything behave as it should. I'm guessing this is going to
be impossible to achieve in D?
