what is the best way to pass a literal ([[1,2],[3,4]]) by reference? Is using ref the best way? I am still a bit fuzzy with in/out and scope

Why do you need to pass the array by reference? D's slices are just windows on to memory, they don't copy the contents when you pass them around.

Anyway, if you do need ref, the problem is that [[1,1],[1,1]] is a temporary, an rvalue, and ref can't take rvalues.


Ah I did not know that. jwhear on IRC cleared it up for me
