D v2.012 currently allows the following:

int[char[]] eroMatrix = ["SA":1, "SB":2, "SP":3, "KK":4];
foreach(k, v; eroMatrix)
  writefln(k, "->", v);

// output:
SA->1
SB->2
SP->3
KK->4

However attempts to directly access a "key:value" pair results in an
ArrayBoundsError. Any idea why? Is there a temporary workaround available?

writefln(eroMatrix["SA"]) // ArrayBoundsError

Thanks,

Weird. This works under DMD 1.026, and under DMD 2.012 if I don't use th= e = literal.

I would have expected something like: writefln(eroMatrix[eroMatrix.keys[0]]); to work, but it doesn't. O_o

It seems matter only the _method_ of initialization. int[char[]] eroMatrix = ["SA":1, "SB":2, "SP":3, "KK":4]; // literal eroMatrix["00"] = 9 ; // direct foreach(k; eroMatrix.keys.sort) { writef(k, "->", typeid(typeof(k)), "->") ; writefln( eroMatrix[k]); }
 OUTPUT:
00->const(char)[]->9 KK->const(char)[]-> Error: ArrayBoundsError aatst(10) PS:D 2.0 change the key's type from char[] to const(char)[], D 1.0 not.
