Is translated by the preprocessor to

char foo[] = "longstringwithoutlinefeeds";

is there a similar mechanism in D? Or should I do...

string foo =
"long"
"string"
"without"
"linefeeds"
;

A side note - Ds CTFE is quite good, so you can usually build up 
strings at compile-time using regular functions.

Genrally you should do:


string foo = "long" ~
              "string" ~
              "without" ~
              "linefeeds";

You could also write a string with newlines and then remove them 
at compile-time with string functions.

Isn't "some" "string" replaced with "somestring" early on?

Yes, unfortunately. And it's something Walter agreed with me to 
kill, but nothing has happened...

Thanks.

Well, then we will have _guaranteed_ const-folding of adjacent 
concatenated string literals, I will be perfectly fine with this 
but it does not seem to be the case right now.
