struct Fence
{
	VkFence	fence;
	alias fence this;

	 static struct CreateInfo
	{
		 VkFenceCreateInfo	ci;
		 alias ci this;
		 this(
		       )
		{
		 ci = typeof(ci)(
		 cast(typeof(ci.sType))StructureType.eFenceCreateInfo,
		 null,
		 0);
		 }
	 }
}

I'm not quite sure what this error is saying. Is it that the only struct constructor that can have no parameters is @disable this(){} ?

If so this is rather annoying as I have to create a new code path for the generation of this and 7 other structs. What must the code be in this case?

 static struct CreateInfo
{
		 VkFenceCreateInfo	ci = VkFenceCreateInfo(cast(typeof(ci.sType))StructureType.eFenceCreateInfo,null,0);
		 alias ci this;
}
?

Yes, this is exactly right. You cannot have a structure with a default constructor, except with @disable.

You can, however, specify the initial values of fields, as in your second example. Note that you can use typeof on the variable you are currently declaring.

VkFenceCreateInfo CI = typeof(CI)(cast(typeof(CI.sType))StructureType.eFenceCreateInfo, null, 0);

"Solved" by having a default parameter. Results in a deprecation but w/e.
