Pardon me for trivial question, Am new to D.
Why would a statement as below fail to compile. The plan is to do some
computation at compile-time hence considering the static-if statement
which fails to compile. The regular if-statement compiles but is not
useful since it is a runtime construct.
The error message I get is : Error: variable i cannot be read at
compile time
foreach( i; 0..size-1){
static if ( i == -1 ){
//Do something
}
}
static if is for compile time known constants.
if is for runtime variables.
In this case it would be a runtime variable even if it is known at
compile time.
Known at compile time != run at compile time. They overlap yes, just not
the same thing.
