           Summary: Mixin code from website doesn't compiler
           Product: D
           Version: 2.012
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/mixin.html
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla@digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: bartosz@relisoft.com


This example from http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/mixin.html doesn’t compile:

template GenStruct(char[] Name, char[] M1) {
    const char[] GenStruct = "struct " ~ Name ~ "{ int " ~ M1 ~ "; }";
}

mixin(GenStruct!("Foo", "bar"));

The corrected template doesn't compile,  it looks like string /invariant(char)[]/ prevents compilation, changing the type to 'invariant char[]' and everything is ok.

Also the error message doesn't have a line number, so there is probably two bugs occuring.

main.d
------
template GenStruct(string Name, string M1) {
    string GenStruct = "struct " ~ Name ~ "{ int " ~ M1 ~ "; }";
}

mixin(GenStruct!("Foo", "bar"));

C:\>dmd main.d
attribute argument to mixin must be a string, not (GenStruct)

This is working in DMD v2.020. The line number is in error message, but the message is still confusing because GenStruct *is* declared as a string, it should be declared as an 'invariant char [] GenStruct = ...'.

main.d
------
template GenStruct(string Name, string M1) {
    string GenStruct = "struct " ~ Name ~ "{ int " ~ M1 ~ "; }";
}

mixin(GenStruct!("Foo", "bar"));

main.d(5): Error: argument to mixin must be a string, not (GenStruct)

Added keyword diagnostic and simplified example, should error message should
say
"test.d(5): Error: argument to mixin must be a *invariant char[]* not
(*invariant(char)[]*)"?

test.d
------
invariant char[] str1 = "int x1;"; // OK
mixin(str1); // OK

string str2 = "int x2;";
mixin(str2); // Fails, test.d(5): Error: argument to mixin must be a string,
not (str2)

> main.d(5): Error: argument to mixin must be a string, not (GenStruct)

is now:

> Error: variable GenStruct cannot be read at compile time

and

> Error: argument to mixin must be a string,
not (str2)

is:

> Error: variable str2 cannot be read at compile time
