The following code:



void main() {

  int[1] a = [10];

  int i;

  int[] b = new int[a[i]];

}



Generates this error (DMD V.1.028):

need size of rightmost array, not type a[i]



Is this a DMD bug or an error of mine?



Thank you,

bear hugs,

I've been trying to work with the D2 xml module. It compiles fine, but when I run it I get an access violation. Am I doing something wrong?

module main;

import std.stdio;
import std.file;
import std.xml;

int main(){
    string s = cast(string)std.file.read("widget.xml");

    check(s);
    auto doc = new Document(s);
    writefln(doc);

    return 0;
}

Cheers,
Boyd

It doesn't compile on D2.013 either, looks like a bug. The workaround is to put a[i] in parenthesis.

>  int[] b = new int[a[i]];
int[] b = new int[(a[i])];

If widget.xml is malformed, it crashes. Probably a bug.

Tested with the following; the first errors, the second version  is ok.

[widget.xml]
<?xml version="1.0"?><widget>
[/widget.xml]

[widget.xml]
<?xml version="1.0"?><widget></widget>
[/widget.xml]

Except that the check(s) function that is supposed to check this, didn't give any errors.

I found the bug though. Apparently if a closed <node/> is written inside another node, an access violation occurs.

works:
	<?xml version="1.0"?><tag/>

doesn't work:
	<?xml version="1.0"?><something><tag/></something>

I'll post this on bugzilla. Thanks for trying to help though.

Cheers,
Boyd
