So enum, alias has nothing to do with #define? Or D requires syntax to support the things i mentioned?
#define can be used for manifest constants and aliases, yes, but also for many other things, as in the examples from popular libraries that I and others posted. And for an automatic C importing mechanism to be worth its complexity, it must be able to handle at least the more common variations.
Don't i have a right to expect, someone who answers me already understand what i am saying or ask nicely to clear it up?
Frankly, no – just as you answered other posts in this thread probably without being absolutely sure what the author was trying to say. Maybe my reply sounded harsher than I intended, I tend to get annoyed too easily when somebody seems to just ignore multiple technically sound replies (which people have spent time writing, after all). I apologize for that. David
