I got "Error: undefined identifier flags" in here:

Removing "flags =" works.

I kinda found an answer. It's a bit of a surprise anyway: https://forum.dlang.org/thread/wokfqqbexazcguffwiif@forum.dlang.org?page=1

Long story short, "named" parameter function calling still does not work. IHO, this goes against the readability tendency of D. And I still don't know how if I want to do this:


auto func(string a = "a", string b = "b", string c = "c")
{
   write("a: ", a, " b: ", b, " c: ", c);
}

void main()
{
func();
func(b ="B"); // Changes default for b only
func(c = "C"); // Changes default for c only

}

Indeed and i'm surprised you didn't know that. The topic has been discussed several times and will be again in the next weeks and months since there are 2 DIP for the feature:

[1] https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/pull/123
[2] https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/pull/126
