Bug 18611 – struct initializer works for dynamic arrays but not associative arrays

Although the coding in the dmd looks almost identical for dynamic arrays and associative arrays, following example works only for dynamic arrays. https://github.com/dlang/dmd/blob/master/src/dmd/initsem.d#L634 struct Bar { string s; } struct Foo { Bar[string] asso; Bar[] arr; } void main() { Foo foo = { arr: [{s: "123"}], asso: ["0": {s: "123"}] // not an associative array initializer }; } Although there is an DIP, this might be more a bug fix, as it works well for dynamic arrays. Providing the same support for associative arrays seems natural
