Why do I get an "object.Error: Access Violation" in the following code?
If I change "class" to "struct" and remove "public:" I don't get an error.
I'm using D2.

import std.stdio;

class Plane {
  public:
    int
      xres,
      yres;
};


void main (string[] args) {
 Plane
  p;
  p.xres = 1920;
}

because 'Plane p;' is short for 'Plane p = null;'

I bet you want 'Plane p = new Plane();'

or if you want it allocated on the stack, I think

'scope Plane p = new Plane();'

should work.

D classes are not like C++ classes, they are managed by reference only, as in
Java. See the scope keyword too.
