Thank you soooooo much Walter! Mixin destructors and delegate .ptrs sound delicious. Yum!

.ptr and .outer, sweet!

I'm sure I'll be very glad for the improved array literal stuff too when I need to use it :)

Thank you very much Walter!

The download link seem to be broken.
ftp://ftp.digitalmars.com/dmd.zip  downloads a size zero file.
ftp://ftp.digitalmars.com/dmd.168.zip  work ok.

Yay! Thank you very much, now users of Derelict Free Type and my little library can generate some debug info :)

Should be fixed now.

Cooool!

I think it would be made even better if auto declarations and initialization of
stack variables with array literals can be combinedly used.
Currently, the following program fails to compile:

void main() { auto a = [1,2,3]; }
>> test.d(1): Error: cannot infer type from initializer
>> test.d(1): cannot implicitly convert expression ([1,2,3]) of type int[3] to int

Wow they really are much better, also thanks for the outer property.

array literal is still very buggy

*Case1: array literal with template
template test(char[] val){
  const char[] test2=val;
}

mixin test!(['a','b','c']);

Case2: array literal with cast and const
const ubyte[] t=cast(ubyte[])['a','b','c'];

Case3: append non-array value
void main(){
  writefln([1,2,3]~2);
}
