Hello.

For DMD 1.x, let's say I have the following template:

 template structname (S) {
    static const string structname = S.stringof[0..$-1];
 }


Is there any difference between 'static const ...' and 'const ...'?

Thanks.

Myron.

I may be wrong but, unless you use it as a mixin or inside of a class/struct, 
I don't think so.

More generally: Using 'static' at module-level scope does nothing. If 
the actual declaration ends up at some other scope (whether the template 
was mixed-in or is simply located somewhere other than module scope) 
then the 'static' will be meaningful.
