What's wrong with __FILE__.dirName ?
It's kinda weird, sometimes I've noticed that the __FILE__
keyword is an
absolute path, and sometimes it isn't.
If you combine it with current working directory, this should
give you the full path.
Looks like std.path gives you a mechanism, I think this should
work:
import std.path;
auto p = __FILE__.absolutePath;

That doesn't work in the example I provided:
/somedir/clean.d
/somedir/build
Say clean.d is meant to remove the build directory that lives in
the same path as the clean.d script itself.
shell/anypath> rdmd /somedir/clean.d
Removing /somedir/build...
Since you are running the script from "anypath", the information
that clean.d exists at /somedir is lost. The last component to
know where the file was found is the compiler itself.
