Here's something I've noticed (x86 code):void main() { ulong size = 2; int[] arr = new int[](size); } This will error with: sizetTest.d(8): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (size) of type ulong to uint size_t is aliased to uint since I'm running 32bit. I'm really not experienced at all with 64bit, so I don't know if it's good to use uint explicitly (my hunch is that it's not good). uint as the array size wouldn't even compile in 64bit, right?
Use size_t for all array indices and sizes, and you'll be fine.
If I'm correct, wouldn't it be better if the error showed that it expects size_t which might be aliased to whatever type for a particular machine?
The compiler doesn't actually know about size_t.
