Is this what you want todo:
```d
import std.string : format, capitalize;
import std.stdio : writeln;
string getter(string v)
{
return "auto get%s() { return %s; }".format(v.capitalize, v);
}
class T
{
int abc;
mixin(getter("abc"));
}
void main() {
auto t = new T();
writeln(t.getAbc());
}
```

Mixin with a function that runs at compile-time and creates the required source ? have you tried it? No, not so far. Adam, if you think that is a workable approach then I certainly will do so. It’s going to be very awkward generating literal strings in D code using literal strings in the meta-mixin-code or whatever I should call it.

Mixin and compile-time functions for code generation
I have a function that can be run at compile-time and which will be able to output code to be injected into the D source code stream. Can I get mixin whatever to do this for me? Mixin with a function that runs at compile-time and creates the required source ? Like D’s solution for a replacement for function-style C preprocessor macros ? - but far more advanced and capable ?
