Hi All,

D doesn't support reflection does it? I can't, for example, create an instance of a type based on its name?

I'm just trying to think how I would read a file containing a map and create instances of types based on what is in that file. I'd basically have to correlate codes with types and hard-code the creation of those types, yes?

Thanks,
Kent

Not currently, though DDL sounds like it might make this possible.

Pretty much as in C++, yes.
