Overall this is a good example of modern, idiomatic D code. Everything
is clear, simple, and in the right place. Congratulations, Shoo!

Line 80: You could an assert or even an enforce here for TICKSPERSPEC.


A program does not work at all when a function failed in a module
constructor. I'll set 0 for TICKSPERSEC when a function failed.
And, had better I make TICKSPERSEC -> TicksPerSec?

ticksPerSec :o)

This is a source of worry very much.
I hit on the idea that manage to do:

private @safe void dummySafeFunc(alias FN)()
{
FN();
}

template isSafe(alias FN)
{
enum isSafe = is(typeof({dummySafeFunc!(FN)();}()));
}
@safe
ComparingBenchmarkReturnValue comparingBenchmark(
alias baseFunc, alias targetFunc, int CNT = 0xfff)()
if (isSafe!baseFunc && isSafe!targetFunc)
{
....
}

I think that's a very good idea. In the long term we'll need to have some traits (either compiler-provided or deduced as above) and put them in std.traits.

@system
ComparingBenchmarkReturnValue comparingBenchmark(
alias baseFunc, alias targetFunc, int CNT = 0xfff)()
if (!(isSafe!baseFunc && isSafe!targetFunc))
{
....
}

It is dirty slightly...

May I put isSafe in std.traits?

Yes please.

Line 762: Beautiful idiom!


Thanks! But, I want to write like this:
with (measureTime!((a){assert(a.seconds);}))
{
doSomething();
}

I don't want to name a nonuse variable.
In this usage, I think that With is proper.
But, this doesn't call destructor. (for bug 3516?
Though I think that how to use is free.

It's definitely a bug. But note that in C++ an unused value will be destroyed at the end of expression, which makes sense. That means your idiom would need a named variable.
