Not true. If you're using a tree structure, you *should* use

Unless you're using classes, which are by-reference, in which

can just use the class as-is. :-)

Thanks v much.

I just came to that realization also when I stepped away.

class node
{
        string name;
        node ref;
}

what's wrong with the code above ?  i get an error no 
identifier for declarator node.  (I have not used classes 
much, since structs often seem to be enough for what I need to 
do mostly).

ref is a reserved keyword.

this conversation is so funny: well what's wrong with this . It's 
a keyword...
Aa Ha ha ha ha , rol.
Seriously, is it so complicated to use a D editor ? I mean with 
syntax color...
