It seems it got implemented today. :)

You can use the SVN version of Phobos, or wait for the next release.

I can't speak as to why the D2 code doesn't work, but this example in 
the documentation is flat out wrong. To assign a D array to a pointer, 
you must use the .ptr property, so that the correct code is actually:

 int* p;
 int[3] s;
 int[] a;
 p = s.ptr;
 p = a.ptr;

Hope this clears things up.

shared-object libraries

[Chick Corea]

Is it possible to build a shared-object library (dot so) with D ?  The
only instructions that I saw
for building a library are on these OS pages, e.g., for linux:

   http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/dmd-linux.html#library

And they build static/archive libraries, not shared-object.

Thanks.

I've just checked in a fix.

I followed up last night, but my post didn't show up until this morning. 
Sorry for the redundant answer! :X

aliasing templates

[Mike Linford]

I remember that if you alias a template, it is instantiated and is 
compiled into the object file/library. What I can't remember is where in 
the d spec this behavior is described. Can anyone help me out?
