digitalmars.D.learn - Issuing compile-time warnings with line numbers?

Won't compile for obvious reasons:

struct Bar { }
struct Foo
{
    this(Bar bar, int line = __LINE__)
    {
        pragma(msg, "Warning: Constructing Foo with Bar incurs
precision loss. Line: " ~ line);
    }
}

void main()
{
    auto foo = Foo(Bar());
}

That's just an example, but I want to issue a compile-time warning
when a specific ctor is called because it might incur precision loss.
I want to give the user the line number of the call, but I can't call
to!string since it's not ctfe-able, so do I have any other options?

Have a look at: http://d-programming-language.org/templates-revisited.html

Search for "Template Metaprogramming With Strings".

 Right, but as I've said conv.to works at compile-time so that's
 unnecessary. Maybe adding a note there about this would be nice, so
 people don't spend time reimplementing common compile-time conversions
 that conv.to can already do.



Oh, I missed one of your posts, sorry.
