public struct Color
{
     byte r,g,b,a;
};
public Color[][] frameBuffer;

attempt to use:

frameBuffer = new Color[height][width];

where width and height some integer variables produces:

alphablend.d(54): Integer constant expression expected instead of height
alphablend.d(54): cannot implicitly convert expression new Color
[0][](width) of type Color [0][] to Color [][]

Thanks in advance,

For dynamic arrays, you don't use that syntax but rather:

frameBuffer.length = height;
for (int i = 0; i < height; i++)
	frameBuffer[i].length = width;

Or use

#
#  frameBuffer = new Color[height];
#  foreach (inout Color[] row; frameBuffer) {
#    row = new Color[width];
#  }
#

Thanks, Chris,

Little bit "non-symmetric" with static declaration like int[3][3] but works.

Yes it does leave one with an odd aftertaste.  So Walter, I'd like to reiterate my wishing for a 'new Type[#][#]...' syntax.  Would it be very difficult?
