Hello everybody,

If this mixin example works:

> template Foo(T)
> {
>     T x = 5;
> }

Why this one not:

> template Foo(T)
> {
>     T x;
>     x = 5; // <- error: no identifier for declarator x
> }

On page describing mixins I never saw an example with assignment inside mixin body, is it limitation of language or bug?

Thanks.

The problem here is that a template() declaration is a scope that contains other declarations - it is not a scope that contains code. This is why it complains about their being 'no identifier for declarator', as it was expecting a type before the 'x'.
