Just in case you know little D here is the source code,
explanation and
comparison to C++:
import std.stdio; // this is used to import writefln() - a
function
similar to printf (but typesafe)
// this is a template function that takes almost anything
(close to C++
templates and C macros)
void print(alias functionName)()
{
// stringof is used to take a string representation of
the identifier
writefln("Calling ", functionName.stringof);
// let's invoke it! This will succeed if functionName
is a function,
pointer to function,
// delegate or an object that have overloaded opCall()
(similar to C++
operator())
functionName();
}
void foo()
{
writefln("@foo"); // same as printf("@foo);
}
void main()
{
// foo is a global (free) function. it is passed to the
template
function.
// In C++ you would do print<foo>(); (but C++ doesn't
support
specializing
// templates with functions nor does it have .stringof)
print!(foo);
}
Thanx a lot! It worked for some functions.
I found a problem though. If we change foo to:
void foo( double i )
{
writefln("@foo ", i );
}
the compiler yields an error:
test.d(30): function app.sandbox.main.foo (double i) does not
match parameter types ()
test.d(30): Error: expected 1 arguments, not 0]
line 30 is this: writefln("Calling ",
functionName.stringof);
Is this supposed to be a bug?
Best regards,

Yes, it is. For some reason it tries to evaluate function
first and *then* take the stringof property (that is of the
returned value), i.e. it rewrites it as
"functionName().stringof". I have written about this bug 4
months ago ("Omittable parens is an evil" thread) but it is
not fixed yet.
That's not the only error here. Your template function also
calls
foo with no arguments on the line below that bug. Fixing that
would
probably include the ParameterTypeTuple and ReturnType
templates.
Er, when I try to use either foo.stringof, or __trait(identifier,
foo), I always get that binding name, rather than the original
function name, sad panda.
I can only print out the current variable name, but I want to
print the name of the function declaration, no matter how deeply
I pass that first function pointer into different calls :/
