Guess I will have to wait for next GDC for Darwin.

nice!

cool. I'll start using that instead. It always felt funny to cast.

now dmd.108.zip?

The documentation needs to be updated to reflect this:
(http://www.digitalmars.com/d/arrays.html#associative)

The InExpression yields a pointer to the associative array element if
the key is present, or null if the key is not in the associative array.

if (("hello" in b) != null)
	...

Assuming you want to pretend that there actually is a boolean type.
Not that D cares about the difference between the two, but anyway.

PS. Still no way to perform a static init of an associative array ?

Can't you do better then that?
The quality of it is very low.

I don't see what you mean.  Please be specific.

That double lookup problem was pointed out here a while back, but I couldn't think of a decent solution. Finally, I had a brainwave <g>.

Yes, I think so too.

Fixes Kris' build break.

Good catch, thanks.

That's a 2.0 feature!

That's OK, you can't do 'em in Java either...

(static initalizer code works in the meantime)

OK, so one of my previous minimal testcases now complies.  However, somehow the fixes seem to have managed to exclude the uses to which SDWF puts the constructs.

1. Initialisation still screws up when a union is involved.

----------
class Qwert {
    union {
        struct {
            int yuiop = 13;
        }
        int asdfg;
    }
}
----------
D:\My Documents\Programming\D\Tests\bugs\broken108_init.d(1): class broken108_init.Qwert 2duplicate union initialization for yuiop
----------

2. Giving one of the struct/union members an access attribute renders it invisible.  If the initialiser is removed from the above example, it compiles and runs OK.  But if I do this:

----------
import std.stdio;

class Qwert {
    union {
        struct {
            int yuiop;
        }
        public int asdfg;
    }
}

void main() {
    Qwert hjkl = new Qwert;

    writefln(hjkl.yuiop);
    writefln(hjkl.asdfg);
}
----------
D:\My Documents\Programming\D\Tests\bugs\broken108_anon.d(16): no property 'asdfg' for type 'Qwert'
----------

The same error occurs if I replace the class definition with any of the following:

----------
class Qwert {
    union {
        struct {
            int yuiop;
            public int asdfg;
        }
        protected int zxcvb;
    }
}
----------
class Qwert {
    struct {
    	int yuiop;
        public int asdfg;
    }
}
----------
class Qwert {
    union {
    	int yuiop;
        public int asdfg;
    }
}
----------
