I think I missed that since I think of them as being the same thing; silly me. I'll fix that now.

(i.e. anywhere you can call writefln() if std.stdio is imported)<BR/><BR/>Mixin declarations on the other hand are valid anywhere declarations (surprise!) are valid, meaning they can be used to add global variables, functions, unit tests, attribute specifiers, import declarations and lots of other good stuff. Basically anything that can occur directly after a module declaration.<BR/><BR/>Take a look at the <A HREF="http://www.digitalmars.com/d/changelog.html#new1_005" REL="nofollow">changelog entry for DMD 1.005</A>, where string mixins were added. There are clearly 3 types of them defined.Frits van Bommelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1368731483244051508.post-27520277107294737742007-06-08T23:59:00.000+10:002007-06-08T23:59:00.000+10:00Those were "<EM>statement mixins</EM>" (at least, I sure hope they are!)Dkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02909587337938463354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1368731483244051508.post-73982934663981285502007-06-08T23:45:00.000+10:002007-06-08T23:45:00.000+10:00<I>In D, there are actually three different mixins:</I><BR/>You missed one: <A HREF="http://www.digitalmars.com/d/module.html#MixinDeclaration" REL="nofollow">mixin declarations</A>.Frits van Bommelnoreply@blogger.com
