DmC obvoiusly does not like nested functions. Is this correct or did I miss out
something?

Nested functions are not legal in C or C++. They are legal in D, however,
and work with the DMD D compiler.

Thanks for your reply. My mistake, I had the perception that nested functions
were part of C99, but it appears that they are just a GNU-C extension - a very
useful one though. I guess I'll have to stick with GNU and keep thinking about
writing more portable stuff in future.

Otherwise, I have tried your D compiler a couple of times now and it seems to
mature by the month. Congratulations to this development!
