digitalmars.D - Ddoc and manifest constants

Hi,

Is it by design that Ddoc does not emit documentation for manifest 
constants, or is it a bug? I'd really like to have documentation for 
some public manifest constants in my code, and I can't really think of a 
reason why Ddoc shouldn't handle them.

I'd definitely argue that any public declaration outside of a function or unittest block which has a ddoc comment on it and is compiled in (e.g. not part of another version block or static if) should appear in the generated ddoc. If there's one that doesn't, it's a bug. - Jonathan M Davis

There doesn't seem to be any problem with dmd 2.095 (Linux 64bits). This code: /// Defines the version of ImageMagick where these headers are based on. enum MagickLibVersion = 0x677; ///ditto enum MagickLibVersionText = "6.7.7"; Results in the folowing documentation: file:///home/mike/Projects/DMagick/docs/c/magickVersion.html -- Mike Wey

Wow. Where can I get _that_ version of dmd? It's so far ahead of the current release that it must beat the pants off it. ;) - Jonathan M Davis
