[bioinfornatics via Digitalmars-d-learn]

Hi,

All is in the title.
I need this to do a tupleof enhanced, that mean:
   - .tupleof need an instance me i want to do this on type
diretcly
   - .tupleof do not bind to member name i need this


for this i strat to this code:

import std.stdio;
import std.typecons;
import std.conv;

struct Coord
{
     int x;
     int y;
     int z;
}

template toTuple(T){
     static string maker(){
         string statement = "alias Tuple!(";
         foreach(const memberName; __traits(allMembers, T)){
             statement ~=  to!string(typeof(__traits(getMember, T,
memberName)))  ~ ",\"" ~ memberName ~ "\", " ;
         }
         statement = statement[O..$-1] ~ ") t;" ; // $-1 to remove
extra comma
         return statement;
     }
     enum toTuple = mixin( maker() );
}


but that fail on typeof(__traits(getMember, T, memberName) becase
that return a type and not a string.


Thaks for your help
