compile-time variables?

[Fraser]

Thanks for the ideas! Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be working (either way). Here's the complete code I tried:

--------------------
import tango.io.Stdout;

char[] ctfe_itoa(uint value)
{
	if (value < 10) return "0123456789"[value .. value+1];
	return ctfe_itoa(value / 10) ~ ctfe_itoa(value % 10);
}

uint Counter(){
	return 1;
}

uint Counter(in uint value){
	return value+1;
}

uint nextID()
{
	const auto first = Counter();
	const auto second = Counter(first);
	const auto third = Counter(second);
	return third;
}

template Foo(char[] name)
{    
    const char[] text = "const char[] " ~ name ~ " = \"Name: " ~ name ~ ", ID: " ~ ctfe_itoa(nextID()) ~ "\n\";";
}

mixin(Foo!("a").text);
mixin(Foo!("b").text);
mixin(Foo!("c").text);
mixin(Foo!("d").text);
mixin(Foo!("e").text);
mixin(Foo!("f").text);

int main(char[][] args)
{
	Stdout(a)(b)(c)(d)(e)(f);
	return 0;
}
--------------------

The result was:
Name: a, ID: 3
Name: b, ID: 3
Name: c, ID: 3
Name: d, ID: 3
Name: e, ID: 3
Name: f, ID: 3

A similar thing happened with the template example.
