The D tour for structs uses a syntax similar to that of C++ in order to initialize a Person struct : Person p(30, 180). Is this syntax supported in D ? Running that part of the code neither works on the playground nor on my machine (dmd v2.076.0).

You're probably looking for this syntax:

	auto p = Person(30, 180);

looks like a bug in the 3rd example.

That's what I was wondering about, thanks.
