Is there a way to bypass the file and line into D assert function ?

for example:

void ASSERT(string fmt, string file = __FILE_FULL_PATH__, size_t line = __LINE__, T...) (bool c, scope T a)  @nogc {
   assert(c, string, file, line);
}

but i get this error:

error.d(39): Error: found file when expecting )
error.d(39): Error: found ) when expecting ; following statement
error.d(39): Deprecation: use { } for an empty statement, not ;

I want d to print the error message with some format information, and show the right file and line for the original location.

Is it doable ?

No, not as far as I know. But you can throw an `AssertError` explicitly, which is what `assert` does when it fails. This allows to pass the file and line information [1]. Or call `onAssertError` which if called first, when an `assert` fails [2].

Isn't assert a template (file and line) rather than a plain function call?

Worst comes to worst, you can provide your own _d_assert(?) and override object.d then just call the C assert

No. It's a keyword, it's built-in to the compiler. It get extra benefits compared to a regular functions: the asserts will be removed in release builds.

Thanks for explain.
