// compiled with no version set, Unicode desired

test.d(16): no property 'foo' for type 'test.Test'
test.d(16): function expected before (), not 1 of type int


// it seems that DMD didn't check the version for

we can copy the content of "versionctrl.d" to the top of the "test.d" to solve
this.
but copy hundreds of this content in a big project is annoying. 
Can we just import the "versionctrl"?

Pass the version info to the compiler at the command-line. Version 
statements only affect the module in which they live.

see the example from D page,
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/version.html#version


	version (ProfessionalEdition)
	{
	    version = FeatureA;
	    version = FeatureB;
	    version = FeatureC;
	}
	version (HomeEdition)
	{
	    version = FeatureA;
	}
	...
	version (FeatureB)
	{
	    ... implement Feature B ...
	}





Suppose we have several files (maybe hundreds of files) in a project, we 
have to copy above code into EVERY file.
Otherwise the code inside version(FeatureB) will not be compiled.

Another way is passing "-version=FeatureB -version = FeatureC" to the 
compiler as you said.
If so, the "version = ???" feature seems useless.


This is far different from C. If we define some thing in previous h file, 
the current file will inherit those feature when the previous file is 
included.

Sounds like an enhancement I could make to Build...

  version(build) pragma(export_version, "FeatureB");

to place "-version=FeatureB" on the dmd command line automatically for you.

Something like that anyway. What do you guys think?
