My code is as following:

struct Point {
        float x, y, z ;
};

int main ()
{
        Point[3] pts = [
                {1.0, 0.0, 0.0} ,
                {0.0, 1.0, 0.0} ,
                {0.0, 0.0, 1.0}
        ];

        return 0 ;
}

But, the compiler report "Error: array initializers as expressions are not allowed".

Then, how do I initialize an array of struct ?

That message's pretty messed up: array initializers look like [1.0, 0.0, 0.0] in D.

Replacing the middle lines with these works:
                Point(1.0, 0.0, 0.0) ,
                Point(0.0, 1.0, 0.0) ,
                Point(0.0, 0.0, 1.0)

Thanks.

Move the definition out of main (note that ; after the struct isn't required):

struct Point {
    float x, y, z;
}

Point[3] pts = [{1.0, 0.0, 0.0},
                {0.0, 1.0, 0.0},
                {0.0, 0.0, 1.0}];

void main () {}

The fact that *does* compile just makes the error message all the more crazy...

It should compile inside of main if declared static.  It's just the error message that's a bit off.

It is perfect, thanks.
