How about debug [1]?
struct S()T {
this() {
debug { writeln("Created..."); }
}
}
and compile with the debug flag. You can also specify a debug
identifier or level.

Very nice :D Thanks!

It's failing, because you got the condition backwards. __ctfe
is true during CTFE and false during runtime. Your code has
if(__ctfe)
writeln("log it");
which means that it will attempt to run writeln at compile
time, whereas if you used
if(!__ctfe)
writeln("log it");
it would skip it at compile time. The problem isn't that
writeln is being compiled in. The problem is that it's being
encountered when CTFE is running the code. So, a static if is
unnecessary. You just need to get the condition right.

Haha doh! Backwards it was. Thanks!

That won't work because __ctfe is not readable at compile
time. And I don't want that writeln there when there's compile
time evaluation because errors.
Huh? __ctfe's entire purpose is so that you can differentiate
between code that's run at compile-time and code that's run at
runtime. If a piece of code is executed at compile-time, __ctfe
is true, whereas if it's executed at runtime, __ctfe is false.
So, if you have
this(T i)
{
if(!__ctfe)
writeln("log it");
}
then the code will print "log it" if the object is constructed
at runtime, whereas it won't print anything if it's run at
compile time, and there won't be any errors for trying to call
writeln at compile time, because it will have been skipped.

Maybe I'm just explaining what I'm trying to do wrong, but that
code doesn't compile when "this" is called in a valid compile
time evaluation context, you'll get errors:
https://run.dlang.io/is/KiJrR1
That link contains the gist of what I want to do. If you could
static if (__ctfe) ... then that'd work but I don't know if
there's something like that. Alternatively, if I can get a non
compile time evaluated static then that also will do the trick.

Huh? __ctfe's entire purpose is so that you can differentiate between code
that's run at compile-time and code that's run at runtime. If a piece of
code is executed at compile-time, __ctfe is true, whereas if it's executed
at runtime, __ctfe is false. So, if you have
this(T i)
{
if(!__ctfe)
writeln("log it");
}
then the code will print "log it" if the object is constructed at runtime,
whereas it won't print anything if it's run at compile time, and there won't
be any errors for trying to call writeln at compile time, because it will
have been skipped.

That won't work because __ctfe is not readable at compile time.
And I don't want that writeln there when there's compile time
evaluation because errors.
1) I want to be able to log when a type is created
2) I want to declare a locally static runtime type
Ie:
import std.stdio;
struct S(T) {
T i;
this(T i) {
this.i = i;
writeln("log it");
}
}
int f() {
static x = S!int(3);
return x.i++;
}
void main() {
writeln(f); // print 3
writeln(f); // print 4
}
