• Chris Miller (7/7) Jan 30 2007 I'm running into this linker error
• Frits van Bommel (5/15) Jan 30 2007 No, it doesn't have anything to do with templates.
• torhu (6/6) Jan 31 2007 I get this when trying to compile a DWT app with dmd 1.004. Works fine

    Error 42: Symbol Undefined _D18TypeInfo_AC6Object6__initZ
with the recent DMD versions (1.004 right now), and I don't really know  
what's going on. I don't get this error with older DMD`s.

Anyone have any ideas?

The strange part is the error goes away when using -release

I guess the Z on the end means it's related to template?

No, it doesn't have anything to do with templates.

It's the TypeInfo instance for Object[], aka typeid(Object[]). It 
/should/ be generated when needed...

Do you have some (preferably short) example code that shows this error?

with dmd 1.0 and older.  It also happened with one of the dwt examples, 
think it was test_rowlayout.d.

Looks similar to what Chris got, since it's a missing TypeInfo object.
