In a C program I have a numeric constant SIZE (that is in [1,32]), that I can
define when I compile the code, like this:
gcc -DSIZE=14 ...

How can I do the same thing in D? The solution I have found is to put in the D
code:
version(B1) const SIZE = 1;
version(B2) const SIZE = 2;
version(B3) const SIZE = 3;
version(B4) const SIZE = 4;
...
version(B14) const SIZE = 14;
...

And then compile the D program with:
dmd -version=B14 ...
Or:
ldc -d-version=B14 ...

Do you know nicer ways to do this in D? (if there are no nicer ways, is this
simple feature worth adding to D?)

Thank you, bye,

What I would probably do is generate a simple .d file right before you  
compile.

I'm used to using forums where I can post, look at what I wrote, then edit  
if necessary. To continue my thought, the file could be called constants.d  
and it could contain just be just one line:

enum SIZE=14;

Or use import expressions and mixins, something like 
mixin("SIZE="~import("config.txt"));

But actually, that's horrible.

I didn't know it was possible to delete posts from a newsgroup. How do you  
do that?

I don't know about any other readers, but using Thunderbird just right-click
the message 
header, and there will be a "Cancel Message" command way down toward the bottom.
