No Bugzilla reports? Here're just a few:
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=632
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1335
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1344
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1595
I use typedefs of integral types in one project, mostly because I read
the D spec when I started out and thought it'd be a good idea, but
because of 1335 and 1344 I eventually realized it wasn't such a good
idea after all.
I do still use them, but I wouldn't miss them much if they were gone.
Yeah sorry for exaggerating. I was mostly thinking that nobody seems to
have noticed the problems with typedef for structs, built-in arrays, and
pointers.
