This example should not assert I believe:

===
module main;

class Foo {
  uint args;
  this(...) {
    args = _arguments.length;
    foreach(TypeInfo typeInfo; _arguments) {
      typeInfo.print();
    }
  }
}

int main(char[][] args) {
  auto foo = new Foo(1, 2, 3);
  assert(foo.args == 3);
  return 0;
}
===

I compile with GDC 0.17, om Mac OS X 10.4.4.

The output is:
TypeInfo[]
int
int
int

So it seams that the hidden variable _arguments is included in itself for constructors.

Works fine (doesn't assert) w/ dmd v0.144 on either/both WinXP and Linux.

So then it is a GDC specific (or perhaps even OS X specific) bug, I better repost it in D.gnu for safe measure.
