import std.stdio;
import std.path;

void main(){
    writeln(altsep == "");
}

causes linker errors:

test.o: In function `_Dmain':
test.d:(.text._Dmain+0x17): undefined reference to `_D3std4path6altsepyG0a'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
--- errorlevel 1


perhaps sep, altsep, et al should be redefined as dynamic array types?

There isn't an alternate separator on Linux, making a dummy one doesn't make much sense.

Then why does there pretend to be one? It's defined as

static if(Posix){
  immutable char[0] altsep;
}

Makes writing portable code more obnoxious. Perhaps an array of separators could be defined, e.g.

static if(Windows){
  immutable string[] seps = [sep, altsep];
}
static if(Posix){
  immutable string[] seps = [sep]
}

would express the fact a bit more cleanly

They're now defined for both win & linux, but it's an empty string in linux, and "/" on windows. Marking this as fixed.
