Hi, thanks for the answer,
I've tried your solution, but I need to store the path and time
to be used for various stuffs later, not just during errors,
maybe something closer to this,
Example:
file located at D:\misc\hello.d
if there's a code like this
// inside hello.d
void main()
{
string path = getAbsolutePath();
string date_and_time = getDateAndTime();
}
I would like the compiler to specifically process the return
value of getAbsolutePath() as well as getDateAndTime during
compile time.
So that whenever I run the program, its as if the code above is
written and compiled as the following code,
// inside hello.d
void main()
{
string path = "D:\misc\";
string date_and_time = "Dec 2x 20xx hh:mm:ss";
}
Would that be possible?
