This is borderline between enhancement and rejects-valid bug report.

DMD 2.050 doesn't support this code:


int[1][1] foo() {
    int[1][1] a;
    return a;
}
enum int[1][1] m1 = foo();
immutable int[1][1] m2 = foo();
void main() {}


Errors generated:

test.d(2): Error: Slice operation a[] = 0 cannot be evaluated at compile time
test.d(5): Error: cannot evaluate foo() at compile time


This code is very useful to initialize an enum/immutable global matrix.

I would like to point out that this code works:

int[1] foo2() {
    int[1] a;
    return a;
}
enum int[1] m3 = foo2();
immutable int[1] m4 = foo2();
void main() {}

This is definitely a bug, not an enhancement. It applies to any use of multidimensional static arrays in CTFE (not just return values). Thus, it also applies to D1.

Fixed.
