Pelle (8/48) Aug 13 2010 This is probably a bug, I think I have run into it.

Ah, thanks.

string[string[string]] maps type string[string] as key to string, which is the
reverse of what I want.  I want to map string to string[string].

So, anyways, I did make the change, but my initialization still doesn't work.  I
get the same errors:


$ dmd AssocArray.d
AssocArray.d(25): Error: Integer constant expression expected instead of "City"
AssocArray.d(25): Error: Integer constant expression expected instead of "Title"
AssocArray.d(25): Error: Integer constant expression expected instead of "City"
AssocArray.d(25): Error: Integer constant expression expected instead of "Title"
AssocArray.d(24): Error: not an associative array initializer


Why?  And why would I get the same kind of error?

thanks.

This is probably a bug, I think I have run into it.

Try this:

string[string[string]] leaders;
leaders["Obama"] = ["City":"DC", "Title":"ThePrez"];
leaders["Cameron"] =  ["City":"London", "Title":"DaPrimeMinista"];

And if that doesn't work, try unfolding more :-)

Probably should report this as a bug, as well.
