• Lars Ivar Igesund (10/10) Apr 16 2004 The docs say that this works:
• J Anderson (9/20) Apr 16 2004 This works, outside the main scope and the error message explains that.

• Vathix (6/19) Apr 16 2004 I think it just hasn't been implemented yet. The workaround is:

The docs say that this works:

   int [] def = [ 1, 2, 3 ];

This program fails to compile with the error message below:

void main()
{
   int [] def = [ 1, 2, 3 ];
}

array.d(3): variable def is not a static and cannot have static initializer

Either the docs are wrong, or it's a compiler bug.

This works, outside the main scope and the error message explains that.

int [] def = [ 1, 2, 3 ];

void main()
{
}

It would be nice if what u suggest worked though.

Yes, there seem to be some arbitrary restrictions that aren't in the 
spec.  See

I think it just hasn't been implemented yet. The workaround is:

const int[] def_init = [1, 2, 3];
int[] def = def_init;
