https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20053 Issue ID: 20053 Summary: mixin doesn't work for many expressions Product: D Version: D2 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P1 Component: dmd Assignee: nobody puremagic.com Reporter: turkeyman gmail.com Lots of expressions don't work as mixin, and you need to expand the mixin to include the whole statement as a workaround. Eg, doesn't work: alias impl = mixin("Thing." ~ fieldName); // ERROR Ugly workaround: mixin("alias impl = Thing." ~ fieldName ~ ";"); This really inhibits readability when the code is even remotely complex. I run into endless examples like this regularly. We can do better than this. --
