You need a main function:

import std.stdio;
class A {
   int x = 42;
}

unittest {
   auto a1 = new A;
   assert (a1.x == 42);
   auto a2 = a1;

dmd has a flag - - main that auto generates a blank main function 
to prevent linker errors.

You have to have a main function. Either add one, or use rdmd --main to 
compile (instead of dmd) so that a stub main is added for you. In either case, 
you need -unittest to enable the unit tests.

Also, questions on learning D should go to the D.Learn newsgroup, whereas this 
is the D newsgroup, which is for general discussion on the language itself.
