Here is an lightweight array(or vector) class which I have been using 
(and improving) for anyone who wishes to use it (or until Matthew gets 
DTL/rangelib going again).

alias Array!(char) works pretty well as a String class, too.

Its in the public domain.

PS. I didnt call it Vector, because of the 3d stuff I was using it for.

guy.  Congrats on your book.  The C++ people need all the help they can 
get :)

Your rangelib stuff looks very good.  I was tempted to take a stab at 
something similar in concept, but I expect you have a (better)codebase 
already cooking.

That said if you want my help, email me.

I've just spent some effort in tidying it up, to be released with STLSoft
1.8.3b1 tomorrow.


 That said if you want my help, email me.



Take a look at the new release, and let me know. Help/requests/opinions always
welcome. :-)

Something odd I just realized: (actually not too odd once I thought 
about it).

The comparison operator opEquals only works when the two arrays have the 
same InitialSize parameter.  The reason I put it in the template and not 
the constructor is that I wished to have a single value constructor also.

Its easily worked around using the empty slice operator, but its still 
annoying.  I don't know if templates could be smart enough to realize 
the types being compared were similar enough.

-- example
import array;
void main( char[][] arg )
{
   alias Array!(int,16) IntArray16;
   alias Array!(int,200) IntArray200;

   IntArray16  a = new IntArray16();
   IntArray200 b = new IntArray200();

   static int[] tmp = [ 100, 200, 300 ];

   a << tmp;
   b << tmp;

   assert( a==b );  // compile error
   assert( a==b[] ); // this is ok
}
