P.S. The default constructor works correctly:

struct Foo
{
  int a, b = 2, c = 3;
}

void main()
{
  auto foo = Foo(1, c: 99);
  imported!"std.stdio".writefln!"a=%s b=%s c=%s"(foo.a, foo.b, foo.c);

}

output: a=1 b=2 c=99

Named parameters are not mature, support began to be added in the April release last year. They were not mentioned in any changelogs and should have been behind a preview switch*. But the spec was updated, it should perhaps have a warning about stability.

This has been fixed by https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/15662

The output I get with dmd master is:

```
a=1 b=2 c=99
```

Which is your expected output. Please update your compiler version.

2.103.1 to 2.104.2: Success with output: a=1 b=99 c=3
Since      2.105.3: Success with output: a=1 b=2 c=99

Or perhaps the compiler test suite should cover basic aspects of the feature.

It did by the time the spec mentioned named arguments.
