Feels pretty silly, but I can't compile this:

import std.random;
auto i = uniform(0, 10);


DMD spits this:

/usr/include/dmd/phobos/std/random.d(1188): Error: static 
variable initialized cannot be read at compile time
/usr/include/dmd/phobos/std/random.d(1231):        called 
from here: rndGen()
/usr/include/dmd/phobos/std/random.d(1231):        called

Perhaps I'm missing something obvious?
dmd 2.067.1, openSUSE 13.2 x64

void main() {
        import std.random;
        auto i = uniform(0, 10);
}

Not so simple, unfortunately.
Actual code:


import std.random;

struct Mystruct {
    auto id = uniform(0, 10);
}

void main() {
    // wahtever
}


..and no luck.

I think it is a bug:

import std.stdio, std.random;

struct Mystruct {
        //mixin(`auto id = uniform(0, 10);`);
	// Error: static variable initialized cannot be read at compile 
time
        int val;
}

void main() {

        Mystruct test;

        test.val = uniform(0, 10); // OK
        writeln(test.val);

        mixin(`auto n = uniform(0, 10);`); // OK
}
