           Summary: writefln fails on nested arrays
           Product: D
           Version: 1.007
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Phobos
        AssignedTo: bugzilla@digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: wbaxter@gmail.com


There seems to be a problem with writefln on nested arrays.
For dynamic arrays it prints some garbage.
For static arrays it generates an access violation.

import std.stdio;
void main()
{
   double[][] foo = [[1.0],[2.0]];

   writefln(foo[0]); // --> [1] , ok
   writefln(foo[1]); // --> [2] , ok

   writefln(foo);       // --> [[1],4.63919e-306]  ack!
   writefln("%s", foo); // --> ditto

   double[1][2] bar;
   bar[0][0] = 1.0;
   bar[1][0] = 2.0;

   writefln(bar);       // Error: Access violation
}

Another test case that doesn't work properly:
////////////// Digital Mars D Compiler v1.009 // libphobos ///////
 import std.stdio;
 void main()
 {
         int[char] x;         // Visually: = ['a':1, 'b':2] // associative
array
         x['b'] = 123;
         writefln(x);  // this prints out: [b:2063597568]
         writefln(x['b']); // this prints out: 123
 }
////////////

Also, there was this comment by Frits van Bommel on the mailing list at http://www.digitalmars.com/d/archives/digitalmars/D/learn/Rectangular_or_2d_associative_arrays_6958.html

"
Looks like it's (the value that gets inserted) << 24, or in other words
the lower byte is put in the high byte, and the others are cleared.
It looks like it's dependent on the key size: if the key type is changed
to ushort the upper two bytes are filled with what should be the lower
two bytes, and if it's a three-byte struct (with toString) the upper
three bytes should be the lower three bytes and the lower byte seems to
be garbage.

This bug doesn't seem to affect GDC.
It looks like gphobos' std.format.doFormat.formatArg.putAArray was
patched to make sure access to AA internals is performed on the correct
alignment boundary. This may have been done for portability reasons, but
I'm guessing it also fixes this bug.
Would anyone mind confirming this and submitting a bug + patch to bugzilla?
