Can you write a minimal example? This can be good for bugzilla (I have added there several bad error message errors). I added this: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4497

Newbie questions on memory allocation

2010-07-24 Thread Deokjae Lee
Hi there, I have some questions on the following code. import std.stdio; struct S { int x; } void main() { int[3] a = new int[3];//A S* b = new S();//B delete b;//C } What's the meaning of the line A? Is the array allocated on heap? or stack? Is it dynamic or sta

Hi, D2.0 seems to be ideal for the enterprise applications my company produces and is a big improvement on C++. However before I could propose it for formal evaluation and prototyping, I need answers to the following questions. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 1. When will a 64-bit compiler

1. When will a 64-bit compiler be available for Linux (ideally Red Hat Enterprise Linux x86_64)? This is heavily being worked on: http://dsource.org/projects/dmd/log/trunk GDC and LDC basically support x64 but D2 support isn't mature. 2. Is ODBC supported? Is there a Phobos library or is it

Type literal of pure function pointer

2010-07-24 Thread bearophile
In the following D2 the D type system is strong enough to allow foo1() to be pure because sqr() is a pointer to a pure function. In foo2() I have tried to do the same thing avoiding templates, and it works. In foo3() I have tried to write the type literal, but I was not able to: pure int sqr(i
