It doesn't compile with static variables too, you just need few seconds to try it on Codepad: http://codepad.org/QHm2QNQ7 struct MemoryPool(T) { alias T[100_000 / T.sizeof] Chunk; static Chunk*[] chunks; } struct Foo { int x; static MemoryPool!(Foo) pool; } void main() {} > But since I think you are implementing the memory > pool incorrectly (it makes no sense for each instance of an item to have a > pool of itself), you should reexamine what you are trying to do. Next time I show code I'll replace all variable and type names with foo, baz, spam, etc. The memory pool in my dlibs is implemented correctly (I think). The code I've shown is just a reduced case, where I have removed the "static" too :-) Bye, bearophile
