OTOH that assert is wrong. Element.sizeof will always return 8, the
size  of an array reference. What you want is Element.length.

No, I don't think so. Don't confuse 'Element' with 'data'. Element is
a type, it doesn't have a length property. But it does have sizeof (an
example of Element is an 'int', which is 4 bytes long).


Oh, fud. I did get that wrong. I still think it's wrong as I'm not sure anything has 0 sizeof and even then that should be static assert.



No, zero-sized arrays are allowed in D:

struct Palette
{
  uint    size;
  ARGB[0] colors
}

Palette* createPalette(int numColors)
{
   return cast(Palette*)GC.malloc(uint.sizeof + numColors * ARGB.sizeof);
}
