--- Comment #1 from ag0aep6g <ag0aep6g@gmail.com> ---
The alias has nothing to do with the error. This gives the same error:

----
unittest {
    int[] t = new int[]; /* Error: new can only create structs, dynamic arrays
or class objects, not int[]'s */
}
----

As far as I know, `new int[]` is not supposed to compile. The spec [1] is a bit scarce on this, but `new`ing arrays is only mentioned with explicit lengths.

Grammartically it's valid (it's the first new rule, i.e `new AllocatorArgumentsopt Type`) but since `new` for arrays doesn't return a pointer to an array, allowing this would be a bit pointless because

  `int[] a = new int[];`

would be the same as

  `int[] a;`

The problem is actually a bad diagnostic. This is like 20422, i.e the length parameter misses.
