Is there any way to get the name of class B?

interface A {
    string text();
}

class B : A {
    override string text() {
        return ": It's ok!";
    }
}

void main() {
    A[] a = cast(A[]) new B[3];
    B b = new B();
    fill(a, b);
    foreach (val ; a) {
        writeln(typeof(val).stringof, val.text());
    }
}

Output:

A: It's ok!
A: It's ok!
A: It's ok!

A: It's ok!
A: It's ok!
A: It's ok!

You can do it as val.classinfo.name

Yes, I have already done so, but the result is the same, actually :)

app.A: It's ok!
app.A: It's ok!
app.A: It's ok!

If you cast to Object and use classinfo.name then you get the expected result of B.

interface A {
    string text();
}

class B : A {
    override string text() {
        return ": It's ok!";
    }
}

void main() {
    A[] a = cast(A[]) new B[3];
    B b = new B();
    fill(a, b);
    foreach (val ; a) {
        writeln((cast(Object)val).classinfo.name, val.text()); // Here is the magic.
    }

Output:

onlineapp.B: It's ok!
onlineapp.B: It's ok!
onlineapp.B: It's ok!

As shown you can use Object for this.

Side-note, you don't override interface members, you implement them.

        interface A
        {
            string text();
        }

        class B : A
        {
            string text()
            {
                return ": To B or not to B!";
            }
        }

        class C : A
        {
            string text()
            {
                return ": Oh I C!";
            }
        }

        void main()
        {
            Object[] a = new B[3];
            B b = new B();
            C c = new C();

            fill(a, b);

            //Just to show
            a[0] = c;

            foreach (val; a)
            {
                writeln(typeof(val).stringof, val.text());
            }
        }

My knowledge of D is still modest, most likely, I just didn't know that override with interfaces can not be used. Thanks for the hint!
