Understandable, but dmd is still early enough in its development that you can't rely on everything working the same from release to release (though it's getting better; changes are now mostly due to bug fixes rather than drastic feature changes or regressions - particularly since we're trying harder to fix all new regressions before releasing), and in general, you really should be using the latest compiler. In the long run, that should change, but we're not quite there yet. - Jonathan M Davis _______________________________________________ dmd-beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puremagic.com/mailman/listinfo/dmd-beta
