In the D specs ("lex.html" to be precise) there is a production thus:

	HexadecimalH:
		HexDigits h
		HexDigits H
	
however the following code which should compile and run (printing
"3756") infact crashes the compiler (0.56):

int main(char[][] args){
   printf("%d\n", each);
   return 0;
}

If 'each' is first defined as an int and given a value, thus:

int main(char[][] args){
   int each = 1;
   printf("%d\n", each);
   return 0;
}

then the code compiles and when run the program prints "1".

Meanwhile, an identifier that does not match the HexadecimalH
production, thus:

int main(char[][] args){
   printf("%d\n", eachone);
   return 0;
}

is correctly reported as being undefined.

HexadecimalH (in this case at least) seems to be broken.

Do we really need it???

This should be:

    HexadecimalH:
        DecDigit h
        DecDigit H
        DecDigit HexDigits h
        DecDigit HexDigits H

Err, it reports the correct error here on the same version.

No, it should be removed from the doc. -Walter

Thought not...

On-line syntax highlighting for "The D journal" just got easier...
