I ended up with the following code:
string ArgNull(string arg)() {
return "if("~arg~" is null)throw new Exception(\""~arg~"
cannot be null.\");";
}
unittest {
import std.exception;
void foo(Object obj, string str)
{
mixin(ArgNull!"obj");
mixin(ArgNull!"str");
}
assertThrown(foo(null, ""));
assertThrown(foo(new Object, null));
assertNotThrown(foo(new Object, ""));
}
It does what I wanted it to. Is there a better way to do it? Or
do you have any suggestions on my code? I am kind of new to D and
all this template and mixin stuff.
