Hi, Can anyone assist me with the short D programme. It is
taken straight from "Programming in D" by Ali Cehreli. The
code below is the solution, on page 684.
The Exercise is on Page 27, item 2 half way down the page.

Thank you. Question: is this a compiler bug ?
No, why would it? You gave it a string saying "Hey, the store the
data in the next variable" then gave no such variable. Format
detected it and rightfully threw an error. That's the following
line from your paste:
object.Exception@C:\Users\Joan\Prog\D\dmd2\windows\bin\..\..\src\phobos\std\form
at.d(594): Enforcement failed
It then printed as much of a stack trace as it could, not very
useful as you didn't do much but it's there.
You gave it garbage and it threw an error. Compiler bugs are a
reality but not *that* common ;-)
