Is it possible to view the expanded form of templates or perhaps view the post-ctfe pre-compiled d code? I couldn't find any information on this topic but I think it would be useful. sometimes I use templates/mixins to write code for me but, sometimes i would rather have the expanded functions in the final versions.

If you just write out the string yourself instead of mixing it in, you can get a lot of progress on it.

 pragma(msg, code_generation_function())


simple + awesome.

Yes, and perhaps unittest blocks:

unittest
{
    assert(makeCode("foo") == "int foo = 42;");
}

Unfortunately, neither works with template mixins or regular templates.

I am builing a tool based on SDC that will allow just that :)
