If I do this
version(!SOMEVERSION) { foo(); }
the compiler has error: identifier or integer expected, not !
shouldn't we be able to do that instead of:
version(SOMEVERSION) {} else { foo(); }
Same thing with debug.

Yes. Am surprised we cannot.
We should also be allowed to write
version (Onething, Another, AndMore)
{
}
else version (Different, Weirder)
{
}
else
{
}
Though I do not know whether we can or can't. Enlightenment needed ... :-)

Interesting, although I think it might be better using && and || operators. "Matthew Wilson" <matthew stlsoft.org> wrote in message news:bink34$1sqv$1 digitaldaemon.com...Yes. Am surprised we cannot.

It's a good question. What I was trying to do was avoid the C #ifdef mess, where it's nearly always the case that the layers of #if A && B && !C || D make little sense as separate versions, as it was built by layering of incomplete ideas. The idea is to decide exactly what of several versions are to be built, and build that one, not a mix of incomplete versions.

How about allowing debug by itself without parentheses so the code will be included if any type of debug is on, like assert. debug foo(); It looks like debug(0) does the trick but I don't think it's a standard.

The trouble is the ambiguity in the grammar to support both debug (0) expression and debug (expression).

That's true, sorry. I'm fine with using debug(0)
