You could try something like this:


module Vers;

template vers(char[] V)
{
       mixin("version(" ~ V ~ ")
       {
             const bool vers = true;
       }
       else
       {
             const bool vers = false;
       }");
}

int main()
{
       static if(vers!("X86_64"))
       {
             long a;
             pragma(msg, "64 bit");
       }
       else
       {
             int a;
             pragma(msg, "32 bit");
       }

       a = 2;

       return a;
}
