Shouldn't this work? According to "Static Initialization of AAs" on this page, it should: https://dlang.org/spec/hash-map.html


enum DevicePropDataType {
  dString,
  dDateTime
}

enum DevicePropValType {
  property,
  miscDate
}

immutable DevicePropDataType[DevicePropValType] propDType =
  [
   DevicePropValType.property:          DevicePropDataType.dString,
   DevicePropValType.miscDate:          DevicePropDataType.dDateTime
   ];

void main() {
	
}

I get the following error:
/d847/f751.d(12): Error: non-constant expression [cast(DevicePropValType)0:cast(DevicePropDataType)0, cast(DevicePropValType)1:cast(DevicePropDataType)1]

It just isn't implemented in the compiler. Instead, you can declare it outside and set it in a static module constructor:


immutable DevicePropDataType[DevicePropValType] propDType;
shared static this() {

propDType =
    [
     DevicePropValType.property:          DevicePropDataType.dString,
     DevicePropValType.miscDate:          DevicePropDataType.dDateTime
     ];
}

void main() {
	
}

That was quick! Thank you.

Should I file a ticket for this?

It is already known, just nobody has fixed it yet (and probably won't for a long time still)
