I'm using 2.053
this compile fine:
====
enum : string
{
   A = "hello",
   B = "betty",
}
====

this doesn't!
====
enum AA : string
{
   A = "hello",
   B = "betty",
}
====

Am I missing something? Named enum can't be typed? known bug?

It works just fine for me.

How I test:

import std.stdio;
enum AA : string
{
    A = "hello",
    B = "betty",
}
void main(){
    writeln(AA.A);
    writeln(AA.B);
}

Compiles and runs.

do you have DMD 2.053 on Windows?
Your code fail for me with:
====
main.d(10): Error: Integer constant expression expected instead of "hello"
main.d(11): Error: Integer constant expression expected instead of "betty"
main.d(10): Error: Integer constant expression expected instead of "hello"
main.d(11): Error: Integer constant expression expected instead of "betty"

I've got 2.053 and it works for me.

Using 2.053 on win32 (XP), compiles and runs.

Ah! I found the problem. If you're using VisualD it compiles with the -g flag (add symbolic debug info), which fails:

main.d(4): Error: Integer constant expression expected instead of "hello"
main.d(5): Error: Integer constant expression expected instead of "betty"
main.d(4): Error: Integer constant expression expected instead of "hello"
main.d(5): Error: Integer constant expression expected instead of "betty"

If you compile with just "dmd main.d" in the command line it works. It's a bug. Anyone know if it's submitted yet?

Looks like it is.

http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=5985

There's a patch that hasn't been pulled into dmd proper, but it looks more like a workaround.

Yes indeed, I'm using Visual D
Ho... good to know, thanks! :)

mm.. well hopefully it'll be fixed in the next release...
and I should pay a close look at the build script!
