Makes me wonder though: if this works, may be it is possible
to provide a context helper with mixin resulting code if all
it parameters are already defined? Similar to C macro
expansion helper in Eclipse.
So like.. you click somewhere in your document, have an extra
panel in which you can enter an expression (even a CTFE call
later on), and get your expressions evaluated? Sure - even
stuff like template mixins or similar..no problem :)
Uhm, even pre-defining variable contents shouldn't be a problem
- then you would have a D math-script interpreter :D
No, a bit different. I.e.
---------
string gen(int num)
{
return format("auto a = %s", num);
}
mixin(gen("42");
---------
And when you hover over "mixin" keyword, temporary modal window
appears with content "auto a = 42". Or even separate panel with
full compile-time feature expansion like it was in Descent, as
Jacob suggests.
I suppose it is hard to have full CTFE engine now, but at least
simple cases may be useful.
