Bug 452 – Struct initialization fails with compiler assertion

The code snippet below gives me a compiler error with DMD 0.172. | > dmd atest.d | Assertion failure: '0' on line 219 in file 'init.c' | abnormal program termination ------------atest.d------------ struct Foo { int a; int b; } void main() { Foo x = {1,2}; } I take it I'm not allowed to use initializers except for 'static' variables, so it's a mistake in my code. Still that shouldn't cause a runtime assertion in the compiler. A proper error like "initialization of non-static struct not allowed" would be more useful.
