debug mixin("public"); else mixin("private");

Doesn't work.

It's nice to have public members when debugging because they show up in the debugger and one can access internals for checking. One can enable per line using debug but it requires lots of duplicate code.


Is there any easy way to do this?

Perhaps you could build a patched DMD which ignores 'private'. Then when you want to compile with -debug, use this custom DMD, and use the standard DMD the rest of the time.

I imagine it'd be a pretty simple patch, but I'm not certain.

What kind of deubgger cares about public or private? I don't think that I've ever seen a debugger that did. Debuggers normally give you access to everything.
