See (I will have to add one more answer in this enhancement request): http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=5348 > - A function that can just allocate a structure easily on the stack, > taking care of constructors and whatnot... This is (will be) in Phobos. > How does this sound? Variable-length stack-allocated arrays are very useful in a system language (if they are a little smarter than C VLA then it's better). In Ada many arrays are allocated like this, and this helps performance, also reducing the pressure on the GC. Bye bearophile
