Hi,

i have a struct containing "attributes" identified by int-ids:

struct Foo
{
    char[uint] attributes;
}


I would like to use instead of the int-ids an enum, since the range of the ids is strict and cannot change. And i want this struct to be generic. So what i need would be a mixin template, which i give the enum -members and the template generates the enum.

struct Foo(char[] enummembers)
{
    enum Bar
    {
         mixin enummembers;
    }

    char[][] attributes;
}

Now i would be able to address the attributes by the enum-members. Is that possible? Since i couldn't find anythiong close in the docs or in the Wiki4D or in the dsource tutorials

struct Foo(char[] enumMembers)
{
    mixin("enum Bar {" ~ enumMembers ~ "}");
    char[][Bar] attributes;
}

...?

If enumMembers isn't in the exact correct form, you'll probably need a string function to get it there.
