This code works with DMD 1.010 for Windows, but fails with an ArrayBoundsError on gdc 0.23, using dmd 1.007

void main() {
  int stuff[char[]][char[]];
  stuff["brian"]["pocket"] = 3;
}

It appears that GDC doesn't know how to handle multi-dimensional AAs.

(My environment: i686-apple-darwin8-gdc-4.0.1 (GCC) 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5363) (gdc 0.23, using dmd 1.007), I'm using a pre-compiled binary of GDC downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gdcmac)

Try inserting this between those two lines:

stuff["brian"] = null;

I haven't tested it, but that's how I've always got stuff like that to work.

That worked, thank you! I was trying things like

stuff["brian"] = new int[char[]];

which doesn't compile, I don't know why I didn't think of just setting it to null. Since my original example works with DMD on Windows, though, I think I better still file a bug report.
