Concatenate strings at compile-time
I have a method that cannot be @nogc only because it concatenates strings for a long exception message, as seen below. throw new ASN1ValuePaddingException ( "This exception was thrown because you attempted to decode " ~ "an INTEGER that was encoded on more than the minimum " ~ "necessary bytes. " ~ notWhatYouMeantText ~ forMoreInformationText ~ debugInformationText ~ reportBugsText ); Those variables you see are immutable. Is there a way that I can combine these strings together at compile time, rather than having a really long string that exceeds the 120 hard line-length limit?
Split Real / Float into Mantissa, Exponent, and Base
I have tried to come up with a good way to get the mantissa, exponent, and base from a real number, and I just can't come up with a good cross-platform way of doing it. I know about std.math.frexp(), but that function only gives you another real as the mantissa. I need an integral mantissa, exponent, and base. Is there either (1) a crafty, cross-platform way of doing this or (2) a function in a standard library that does this that I somehow missed? If there is no such function, what are your thoughts on me implementing such a thing and submitting it to Phobos, probably similar to how frexp is implemented (elseifs for each FP format)?
