The problem is mostly with stuff like: extern (C): alias int[2] foo; void fn(foo); Now make the alias platform-dependent (as in the Posix package) and tell me what the prototype for fn() should be. Fortunately, static array args are almost nonexistent in C99 and Posix. _______________________________________________ dmd-beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puremagic.com/mailman/listinfo/dmd-beta
