- bearophile (16/16) May 07 2009 std.metastrings.Format of D 2.029 is broken, I think.

- Jarrett Billingsley (9/17) May 07 2009 ess this is normal, but I don't like it much:
- Derek Parnell (9/16) May 07 2009 Really? Have consulted the "superdan" on that?
- superdan (4/18) May 07 2009 huh? wut? wut about me?
- bearophile (10/15) May 07 2009 I think that if you don't put braces the compiler sees:
- Steven Schveighoffer (10/28) May 08 2009 Much.
- Georg Wrede (5/46) May 08 2009 Or "isn't very nice".
- Steven Schveighoffer (9/49) May 08 2009 could be, I didn't read the whole context.
- Don (3/60) May 08 2009 "nice" isn't measurable, so you can't use "much". Likewise, you can only...
std.metastrings.Format of D 2.029 is broken, I think.
--------------------
The following doesn't work, the pragma isn't seen as an instruction, I guess
this is normal, but I don't like it much:
static if (true)
pragma(msg, "true");
else
pragma(msg, "false");
--------------------
D2 programs need more and more compile-time printing, and:
pragma(msg, ToString(...) ~ ...);
isn't much nice.
So I think that the std.metastrings.Write and std.metastrings.Writeln templates
may be created, able to print strings, integral values, floating point values,
and arrays of those types.
I have started to create such templates, but to create the
std.metastrings.Write I have seen I'd like to have a pragma(msg, ...) that
doesn't add a newline at the end.
Has someone written a template or compile-time-function able to print a
floating point value?
Bye,
bearophile

They are not adverbs.

Also, I note that you have some sentences written without subject or verb, or object, and without leading upper case character. As far as I know, only e.e.cummings can get away with that, then only just. ;-) -- Derek Parnell Melbourne, Australia skype: derek.j.parnell

Jarrett Billingsley:If you add braces, for some reason it works.<I think that if you don't put braces the compiler sees: static if (true) else If you put them it sees: static if (true) {} else {} The first isn't correct D code. But I'd like the pragma to be seen as an instruction anyway by the static if.Once again: 'much' and 'too much' can never. modify. adjectives. They are not adverbs.Thank you. My English text reviewers surely get headaches. Bye, bearophile
