digitalmars.D.learn - Playing arround with mixin - alias?

Is it possible to define an alias for something like

mixin(import("local_function_file.d"));

to write only

    use_local_function;

which will be translated to: 
mixin(import("local_function_file.d"));

(this additionally needs the file local_function_file.d in 
source/ +
-J./source as parameter for dmd aka.  dflags "-J./source" in 
dub.sdl)

nope. the best you can get is `mixin use_local_function;`. i'm assuming that you want your imported function behave like normally declared function here.

Would there be an advantage compared to a simple `import local_function_file;`?

So my "solution" on how to get a short cut for using: writeln(mixin(interp!"${name} you are app. ${age*365} days old")); // first place in source/exho.d the following code: auto mixinter(string x)(){return mixin(interp!x);} auto exho(string x)(){return mixin("writeln("~interp!x~")");} later compile this with -J./source source/app.d: import scriptlike; auto insert(string name)(){return import(name);} alias insert!"exho.d" use_exho; void main() { auto name = userInput!string("Please enter your name"); auto age = userInput!int("And your age"); //Now you can write in every scope you need it: mixin(use_exho); exho!"${name} you are app. ${age*365} days old"; // Which looks little nicer than: // writeln(mixin(interp!"${name} you are app. ${age*365} days old")); // or if you need the result in a var: mixin(use_exho); auto var = mixinter!"${name} you are app. ${age*365} days old"; writeln(var); } you may even name the alias just exho and write: alias insert!"exho.d" exho; mixin(exho); exho!"${name} you are app. ${age*365} days old"; (exho was derived from shell echo with mi_x_in)

I thought way to complicated: Just define the string at top: enum exho="auto mixinter(string x)(){return mixin(interp!x);} auto exho(string x)(){return mixin(\"writeln(\"~interp!x~\")\");}"; Then use: mixin(exho); exho!"${name} you are app. ${age*365} days old"; In your scope!

You can alias symbols. You can't alias statements, and mixins are always explicit. Now, you could have a function that returned what you wanted to mix in so that you just did something like mixin(use_local_function()); and have use_local_function return whatever code it is you want to mix in, but you can't just do something like use_local_function; and have it work. That would be more like a macro system, and D doesn't have that. We have string mixins and template mixins, but those are both explicitly mixed in. - Jonathan M Davis
