As I promised here is the root of an "old" bug discussed on D forum.
If you omit any one of the swithes or the 'private' word
or change 'p.length' to 'length' or '$' --> it compiles.

Best regards,
Tamas Nagy

DMD 0.137 Win32
Compile with switches:
dmd -c -release -inline -O dotted.d

Result:
Internal error: ..\ztc\cgcod.c 1489

dotted.d
<CODE>
class DP{
private:
void I(char[] p)
{
I(p[1..p.length]);
}
}
</CODE>
