Hi,

after trying D several months ago I was enthusiastic about the idea behind it but reality caught up quickly: Compile/Link crashed after using an array of approx. 10MB in size. So I went mad with D and tried to forget it.

But after recently noticing some D-release-activity, I am wondering if I should give it another try and I would be grateful for any advice related to the following questions/comments:

1) Is the issue mentioned above fixed?

2) Can I expect to get some more 'surprises' at this stage on trivial things like arrays being too large?

3) Is there something like a roadmap to a D V1.0 or is it too early to tell if this will ever happen?

Thanks.

Was it a statically allocated array? I know that Optlink has a problem with multi-megabyte static arrays. The solution is to dynamically allocate them.

Yes, it was a static array and, thanks, I'll follow your advice.
