So you don't agree version() is horribly half assed without
AND/OR (how do you generate the same code for two different
versions without copying or creating a new version covering
both cases then?) and that "version = FOO;" makes no sense?
Sorry, with that, I agree. Nick Sabalausky proposed to remove
version entirely.
But I agree there could be something like:
version(LINUX|OSX){
...
} else {
...
}
FWIW, one of the big wins I see in migrating "version" to
"static if" is
switching from the clumbsy "defined/undefined" model to a model
of
"true/false, undefined is an error". The current "undefined is
not an error"
stuff is just so...ActionScript 2.
I don't mind changing the semantics of "version", but replacing
the KEYWORD "version" with "static if" will make for code that is
harder to read for the eye, harder to parse for the tools, and
overall uglier. So I want to keep the keyword, which is a very
good addition in my opinion.
