           Summary: String mixin within teplatate mixin doesn't compile
           Product: D
           Version: 2.013
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: bartosz relisoft.com


The following code doesn't compile:
template foo (string init)
{
    mixin ("string str = \"" ~ init ~ "\";");
}

mixin (foo !("hello"));

attribute argument to mixin must be a string, not (foo!("hello"))

Analogous code without a string mixin works:

template bar (string s)
{
    string str = s;
}

mixin bar!("hello");

No, the analogous code is

template bar (string s)
{
    string str = s;
}

mixin (bar!("hello"));

and it doesn't compile (and it shouldn't).

Notice the parenthesis after mixin. There's a difference between

mixin something;

and

mixin (something);

The first one is a template mixin
(http://digitalmars.com/d/1.0/template-mixin.html), the second one is a mixin
(http://www.digitalmars.com/d/1.0/mixin.html).

This compiles correctly:

template bar (string s)
{
    string str = s;
}

mixin bar!("hello");

Shouldn't that be

    mixin foo!("hello");

i.e. without the extra pair of parentheses?

Yes, it's a parentheses problem. Shows you that making two completely different
constructs in a language differ only be parentheses is confusing.
