digitalmars.D.bugs - struct/array static initialization bug

reply "Andrew Fedoniouk" <news terrainformatica.com> writes:
Program below outputs two lines:
2 0
2 2

First line result is a bug.
{ two:2 } should behave similar to int two[2] = 2 , I guess.
Now { two:2 } initializes only first element of the array.

---------------------------------------
import std.stdio;
struct A
{
  int one;
  int two[2];
}
A a = { one:1, two:2 };

int two[2] = 2;

int main(char[][] args)
{
  writef("%d %d\n",a.two[0],a.two[1]);
  writef("%d %d\n",two[0],two[1]);
  return 0;
}

I think you meant two[] = 2?
 Now { two:2 } initializes only first element of the array.
Indeed, so should it be the same as two[] = 2, or is it okay as is given that we can say two:[2,2], eg. struct A { int one; int two[2]; } A a = { one:1, two:[2,3] }; void main() { printf("%d,%d,%d",a.one,a.two[0],a.two[1]); }
 ---------------------------------------
 import std.stdio;
 struct A
 {
   int one;
   int two[2];
 }
 A a = { one:1, two:2 };

 int two[2] = 2;

 int main(char[][] args)
 {
   writef("%d %d\n",a.two[0],a.two[1]);
   writef("%d %d\n",two[0],two[1]);
   return 0;
 }

I mean following: static real rr[4] = 3.1415926; all four elements of rr will be initialized to Pi value. but if rr is member of struct this multiple-element-inititalization-by-single-value does not work. It does work in fact as compiler is happy seeing this struct A { int one; int two[4]; } A a = { one:1, two:2 }; But it is just unexpected initialization behaviour, I guess. Andrew.

I mean following: static real rr[4] = 3.1415926; all four elements of rr will be initialized to Pi value.
I see what you mean. I had it confused with: real rr[4]; rr[] = 3.1415926; which also sets all elements of rr to Pi value.
 but if rr is member of struct this
 multiple-element-inititalization-by-single-value does not work.
No, instead it sets only the first element.
 It does work in fact as compiler is happy seeing this

 struct A {  int one; int two[4]; }
 A a = { one:1, two:2 };

 But it is just unexpected initialization behaviour, I guess.
I actually expected it to only set the first element, but, I'm used to C which does not have a 'set all elements of an array' feature (unless you count the memset function). I think it would be nice to be able to do both. Given that we can write: A a = { one:1, two:[2,0,0,0] }; or, shorthand: A a = { one:1, two:[2] }; to set 'just the first element to 2' it would make sense for: A a = { one:1, two:2 }; to set all elements to '2'.

And what do you think is consistent? Because from where I'm sitting, it *is* consistent already. Consistent with C/C++ behaviour. Regan
