Sorry for the very basic question. Much still alludes me with this

struct S

Wow sorry for that. I'm a moron... don't press <tab> <enter>...

struct S
{
   int a;
   string b;
}

class A
{
   S[]* pointer_to_list;
   abstract...
}

class B: A
{
   S[] items = [ {10, "first"}, {20, "second"}];

   this() {
    pointer_to_list = &items;
   }
}

My problem is in de-referencing later (seg fault). Is this even the best  
way?

I Really need to access the array in a derived class. 'S' (I believe)  
really is best as a Structure.

Any suggestions. Thanks in advance (and sorry for the rough start).

I would highly suggest to just use S[] and not S[]*. A slice is already a  
reference (coupled with a length).
