Bug 181 – Spec contradicts itself on whether an array may be partially initialized

Static Initialization of Static Arrays The spec gives this code sample: int[3] a = [ 1:2, 3 ]; // a[0] = 0, a[1] = 2, a[2] = 3 Two paragraphs below it is the statement: "If any members of an array are initialized, they all must be." On this basis, the code sample is invalid. There has been some debate over which should be correct: the code sample or the requirement to initialize every element when using an array initializer. My vote goes to the latter being the correct one, in which case the code sample needs to be changed to one that's valid, e.g. int[3] a = [ 1:2, 3, 0:0 ]; // a[0] = 0, a[1] = 2, a[2] = 3

Fixed DMD 0.162 (changed documentation)

It appears that Walter's assorted copies of the documentation have become out of sync. The contradiction has come right back again in exactly the same form.

Resurfaced as issue 511. Duping this to that, considering that this has been logged as fixed. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 511 ***

Oops, wrong issue.... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 508 ***
