I think what the docs mean is that as soon as an anonymous
union is present, you can't initialize anything further than
the first union field.
I understood that, hence my remark that "this is not helpful".
So it seems I am forced to assign explicitly to each member of
the struct, an ugly process.
What is a nice way to solve this problem?
I think the only way to solve it is with a constructor:
this(int ival, double xval) { i = ival; x = xval; }
As I though I made clear, I don't want write assignments to each
variable in a 50 or 100 member struct from a library when D could
supply a better solution. I can print out such a struct using
writeln, but can find no way to use that text cleaned up in
source code to create such a struct. Is D completely deficient
here?
