thanks a lot. That makes sense.
Kind regards

I think I mimized the coding too much.
What I actually want to achieve is to generate read methods
in the structure for different data types (Ubyte, short, int):
I thought the eponymous trick would insert the content of the
enum instead the name itself?
string getReadMethods(string methodName, string dataType)
{
return dataType~` `~methodName~`(size_t idx) {
return v_arr[idx].get!`~dataType~`; }`;
}
template insertReadMethods(string MethodName, DataType)
{
enum insertReadMethods = getReadMethods(MethodName,
DataType.stringof);
}
struct Data
{
mixin insertReadMethods!("readTinyInt", ubyte);
mixin insertReadMethods!("readShortInt", short);

you musunderstood how mixin templates works. mixin templates
are more
like macroses than templates per se, so you don't need to assign
anything to enum to get the result. i.e.
string getReadMethods(string methodName, string dataType)
{
return dataType~` `~methodName~`(size_t idx) {
return v_arr[idx].get!`~dataType~`; }`;
}
template insertReadMethods(string MethodName, DataType)
{
/*enum insertReadMethods =*/ // no need to do this
// do that instead ;-)
mixin(getReadMethods(MethodName, DataType.stringof));
}
struct Data
{
mixin insertReadMethods!("readTinyInt", ubyte);
mixin insertReadMethods!("readShortInt", short);
}
think about mixin templates as macro definitions which will be
just
inserted where you instantiated them.
