Be careful with that though: 'games' is a literal associative array,
meaning that it will be used in the program as if it's copy-pasted in
that location. It looks like there is a single associative array, but
there is a new temporary created every time you use 'games':
struct GameInfo
{
int i;
}
enum GameInfo[string] games = [ "one" : GameInfo(1) ];
void main()
{
assert(&(games["one"]) != &(games["one"])); // note: !=
}
As the two games are different, their elements are not at the same location.
This is one way to go:
struct GameInfo
{
int i;
}
static immutable GameInfo[string] games;
static this()
{
games = [ "one" : GameInfo(1) ];
}
void main()
{
assert(&(games["one"]) == &(games["one"])); // note ==
}
This time there is just one 'games'.
