Hi all,

Many apologies if this is the wrong forum, but I noticed that nobody has responded to this in the issues forum (issue #929) for over six months.

I'm getting odd behavior with DMD 1.026 on both windows and linux when I attempt to resize an array of arrays as in:

import std.stdio;

int main(char [][] args)
{
  fwritef(stderr, "starting...\n");
  int[int][] stacks;
  stacks.length = 30;
  fwritef(stderr, "done...\n");
  return 0;
}

This code never gets to the "done..." writef.  I'm sure I'm probably doing something wrong (newbie), but any help or advice would be appreciated.

thanks,

wade

PS, despite some hiccups, it's been a real pleasure to write some code in D... definitely much nicer than c++!

Congratulations, you found a longstanding Phobos bug that should have been fixed by now, given that I provided a patch for it four months back!
Now go grab a stick and hit a Phobos maintainer until he commits it.

Thanks.

 --downs, pissed off

Is there a patched version of phobos that fixes this bug elsewhere?  Unfortunately, in Win32 I don't have the necessary tools to fully rebuild the library from sources.

thanks,

wade

To be precise, we don't know what causes it. There's a way to work around the problem in the phobos sources, but apparently indefinitely postponed bug fixing is considered better than a quick band-aid. As was apparent from my post, I strongly disagree with that stance :)

Anyway, not that I know of. Sorry.
