digitalmars.D.bugs - Mixins and auto

The output I expected being:

Eh?  Apparently the "auto" variables declared by the mixins aren't getting
collected until 
the end of the entire function, my anonymous blocks be damned, and in reverse
order.  And 
in case anyone wonders, no it doesn't change if I place more code in the
blocks.  I ran 
across this little beaut looking for a way to conditionally compile in my Timer
objects 
with somewhat cleaner reading code. (I like the look of `mixin MTimer!("void
main()");` 
better than `version (Timer) auto Timer t = new Timer("void main()");` ... I
guess I'm crazy.)

Any insights?

I think this is similar to auto variables not getting cleaned up if scope exits from a throw. In both cases, the dtor isn't being called as it should and they're being cleaned up by the next GC cycle. In the case of mixins however, it seems like a parse issue rather than a runtime issue. Sean
