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.

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 ;-)

Thanks for the assistance. I assumed that the compiler  would at least
throw a line number, to hint at where the problem was.


You should see a stack trace. I'm not normally on windows, so I don't know the proper mechanism to enable stack traces, but on OSX, it looks like this:

No line numbers, but at least I can see the call stack.
