I was going to post it originally, but it's a pretty mundane function. 
Also of note is that this compiled no problem with previous versions of 
DMD.  I haven't touched the code in awhile, so I'm not sure when it 
stopped working.

Hmm... wow, now I'm confused.  Don't see any use of func literals in 
there at all.  Suddenly I see why you asked about it on the newsgroup. 


And is there a special reason (just something I noted when scanning it 
and mentally compiling) why 'nnWebNode[] ret' is defined seperately in 
the if and else blocks?

436 is the first line- the function declaration.

No reason... I just changed it to see if it made any difference in compilation... it didn't. John

Commenting out the foreaches does nothing.  What triggers it is using 
nodes.  This is also what's triggering my "Weird Linking Error".
With:
public struct Nodes
{
	nnWebNode Root;
	nnWebNode Null;
	nnWebNode String;
	nnWebNode Name;

	nnWebNode[nnNodeID] nodes;
	
	void init()
	{// Stuff
	}
}

And:
public Nodes nodes;
I get the compiler error in any function that does something like:
	public nnWebNode[] getImmediateChildren()
	{
		nnWebNode[] ret;
		if (this == nodes.Null) {}
	}
And it likes that function if I change it to not use nodes.Null.
It'll also compile if I change the:
public Nodes nodes;
line to:
public static Nodes nodes;

However, when I change that line, I get the weird linking issues that 
I've detailed in that post, as if the static keyword works like it does 
in C when it's used in the module scope.

Is this two seperate bugs, both out to screw with my head, or two 
symptoms of the same problem?

Walter,
I've got a test case for it all.  With the first line commented out, it 
doesn't compile.  With the second line commented out, and the first 
uncommented, it compiles but doesn't work.  I can't get around this one.
TIA,
John

------------------------------
module test2;

//public static Nodes nodes;
public Nodes nodes;

public struct Nodes {
   Object Null;
   Object Name;

   void init(){}

class A {

void main() {
   nodes.init();
   A a = new A();
   a.b();

Alright.. I've got another clue, although I haven't been able to boil it 
down to a short test case.

I've got a struct, called "Nodes" and then, first thing in the module, 
I've got:
Nodes nodes;
To create a global instance of the struct.

Any function that uses this struct seems to fail on this error.

Any suggestions?  Please?

Hmm.  Odd.
A) I wouldn't think that would have to be static... but oh well, that 
shouldn't hurt it any at all.
B) The error message sure didn't give /any/ clues at all.  Obviously, 
considering my initial intuitive response was, "Oh, something wrong with 
a function literal?"  I think maybe the compiler misdiagnosed.

Bug.

 Bug.
Either it's a misdiagnosed error, or it's a valid error for something the compiler is doing behind the scenes.

Strange.

I wonder why the non-static version causes the "funclit" error.

As for the Node struct, perhaps, without the static designation, it 
can't be accessed properly outside of its module;  the d manual states:

"Static data has only one instance for the entire program, not once per 
object."

So what does this imply for non-static module level instances of a 
struct?  Is access to them limited to the module only?  It would be nice 
to know a few more nitty gritty details here about how the compiler works.
