Not on Windows, unless I've missed something?

Glue in Flectioned and you get it on Windows & Linux.

Right, my mistake. Sorry. (same to Sean)

In other, not entirely unrelated, news, scrapple.tools' /fix/ now preserves refness of its arguments :)
(not that anybody uses that except me (sadly), but it will make my code a bit easier)

I worked on reducing the error to a small example, and I filed a related bug: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1738

In the process of reducing the error, I guess I lost some of the context for the error, but I think it seems to be related to the assignment of FALSE in structure.d: #   FALSE = { b:false, type:TYPE.BOOLEAN, access:ACCESS.READ },


Note that I'm not defending that DMD rejects your code. My bug report only gives an example of an error message that should include a line number. I hope this helps, but it looks like the compiler is malfunctioning in a couple of ways when it tries to process your code. I only identified one of the malfunctions (lack of a line number).


By the way, to come up with the reduced example, I basically used the method
described at:
