Bug 14977 – Struct initializer doesn't work inside AA initializer

struct Foo { int a; } void main() { // compiles Foo[] arr = [ {a: 1}, {a: 2} ]; // compiles Foo[int] aa1 = [ 1: Foo(), 2: Foo() ]; // Error: not an associative array initializer Foo[int] aa2 = [ 1: {a: 1}, 2: {a: 2} ]; }

I'm surprised you can use struct initializers in an array, I thought you could only use them to immediately initialize a single variable. I think this is an enhancement request, not a bug, unless the language spec says this should work.

(In reply to Vladimir Panteleev from comment #1) > I'm surprised you can use struct initializers in an array The struct initializers are used inside "array initializers*. There's no syntactic problem, and should it work. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of issue 6469 ***
