           Summary: Template with a mixin doesn't work as expected
           Product: D
           Version: 2.012
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: bartosz relisoft.com


The following template doesn't work:
template ToType (string s)
{
    mixin ("alias " ~ s ~ " ToType ;");
}

ToType!("int") x;

I had to use the following workaround:

template ToTypeHelper (string s)
{
    mixin ("alias " ~ s ~ " type;");
}

template ToType (string s)
{
    alias ToTypeHelper!(s).type ToType;
}
