Actually, I have another question before the one in the subject line: How 
many types of arrays are there in D? THEN, I would like to know their

There's one type, and its structure is described in the ABI:

Dynamic arrays are internally just a pointer and a length, so there only

The good thing is that in this newsgroup there is only one troll to feed (that

If you can call that a trolling:

Troll: what color is the sky?

NG: Blue, much of the time.

Troll: You are so stupid.
