It's hard to say what would exactly fit your use case since this
is just a minimal example, so it's hard to gauge what other
restrictions and inputs exists, but if your logic is a bit more
complex then CTFE (Compile Time Function Execution) might be a
viable option:
```d
int myCount(bool Cond1, bool Cond2)()
{
// Assumes that the code is more complex, so you can't easily
use something similar to:
// count = cast(int)Cond1 + cast(int)Cond2;
int count = 0;
static if(Cond1)
count++;
static if(Cond2)
count++;
return count;
}
pragma(msg, myCount!(false, false)); // 0
pragma(msg, myCount!(true, false)); // 1
pragma(msg, myCount!(false, true)); // 1
pragma(msg, myCount!(true, true)); // 2
// e.g. store it in an enum
enum Count = myCount!(true, false);
// Or more simply... if possible for your use case
enum Cond1 = true;
enum Cond2 = false;
enum Count = cast(int)Cond1 + cast(int)Cond2; // cast(int)true ==
1; cast(int)false == 0
```
Without additional context it's hard to give a concrete
suggestion though, but I hope this helps.
