------- Comment #3 from fvbom...@wxs.nl 2009-04-17 12:31 ------- Workaround: ---- alias char[] String; static if (!is(no_type)) alias String no_type; no_type x; ---- It seems to fail when the aliased type is a primitive type or array (static, dynamic or associative). It doesn't fail if it's a class, struct, enum, typedef or aliased type. --
