Hey everyone,

I just tried out the helloworld example posted at www.digitalmars.com/d/index.html

and I get this error (with dmd 0.149):

/hello.d(49): function hello.main.argspecs () does not match argument types
(char[][])
/hello.d(49): Error: expected 0 arguments, not 1

/hello.d(49): function hello.main.argspecs () does not match argument types
(char[][])
/hello.d(49): Error: expected 0 arguments, not 1

I can fix things so that they appear to run correctly (except the "argc=..."
part at the end of main(), of course) by just commenting out line 50.

Any ideas as to why it is dying with this version of the compiler? Just too old? Or is it dying for others?

Thanks,
Kelly Wilson

Oops.  Nothing to do with the compiler version.

The following line:

specs argspecs()

Needs to be changed to:

specs argspecs(char[][] args)

I'd like to retract my last post :)

Since the example is supposed to demonstrate an inner function referencing outer variables, it would be better to change the line:

argspecs(args).count, argspecs(args).allocated);

to:

argspecs().count, argspecs().allocated);

This code is buggy. I added corrected and expanded code at the wikibooks
site.

Right. I knew I saw that code with a lot of comments somewhere...but the first example seen on digitalmars/d should be bug free, if possible. So I guess Tony, or someone, should fix it if possible.

Thanks,
