mixin assembler does not work?

Hey guys. Can someone explain me, why this code does only works with the inline assembler version but not with the mixin? Thanks in advance! Code: import std.stdio : writeln; import std.conv : to; template Vala(uint count, alias arr) { immutable string c = to!string(count);

Also, there is std.array.array for the ranges you want to convert to arrays. For example, if a is an array, a.map!(x = x * 2).array produces an new array of doubled values (as opposed to a lazy range produced by std.algorithm.map).

Thats real weird that it would reject your i variable, given that T.length is known at compile time. I think this is a bug. I can get your code to compile if I change your foreach loop to this: foreach(i, U; T) modTuple[i] = transTupleElem(argTuple[i]); // ok
