Saw this somewhere, and to be honest, that's something i always wanted to be able to do

That may be something i could try to implement, sounds relatively easy

import c = sqlite3, miniz;

Is it equivalent to this?

import c = sqlite3;
import miniz;

If yes, this requires no DIP. But honestly, the reason why D requires separate import statements for renaming stuff is that it’s much clearer.

I just realized one can do this:

import x = std.stdio;
import x = std.file;

If that is intended, it’s especially important for clarity that separate import statements are required.

No, i specifically wrote grouped, there might be a better word for it

It means, symbols from sqlite3 and miniz are isolated into the c name

Example:

c.sqlite3_init();
c.miniz_init();

This is useful for ImportC

I didn't know it was possible, that's good to know, no need for that DIP then, case is closed, thanks!

I just tested, it doesn't work...

onlineapp.d(2): Error: import onlineapp.xconflicts with importonlineapp.x at onlineapp.d(1)

@ryuukk_ When your DIP Idea is not understood, please clarify it in the same thread. It's the DIP author's responsibility to convey their idea to others. Do not take it out on the person giving feedback, and do not try to replace the thread with a new one.

I understand you don't want to the thread to be cluttered with initial misunderstandings, but this forum is not like git where you can easily amend and rebase if you mess up. If you want to avoid this situation, elaborate more in your initial DIP idea post with complete examples and explanations. Let's keep this thread about the DIP idea itself now, thanks!

It doesn’t work for module-scope imports, as you point out, but it’s not diagnosed for function-scope imports. Filed a bug.

We delete posts when they contain personal insults (both explicit and underhanded) or when they are off-topic to the point of derailing the thread. We can delete a post by special request from the author, but in the case of this thread, Quirin made replies perfectly following the DIP forum guidelines, which we won't delete without a good reason.

What I can do is informally close the thread:

From here on out, subsequent replies to this thread will be deleted.
