March 22, 2005 Initializing global arrays in modules via this()? | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
Initializing global arrays in modules (i.e. outside functions), someone mentioned this() as a solution: <code> module aepar_global; const int MLdataNo = 13; int[] metaData; // Initializing Arrays (before main() is called) this() { metaData.length = MLdataNo; // or metaData.length = metaData.length + MLdataNo; } </code> Alas this yields an error: // aepar_global.d(115): constructor aepar_global.this constructors only are for class definitions And since int[MLdataNo] metaData; does not work either, I am a bit at loss what to do?

Posted in reply to AEon | Its a simple mistake: you need to make the module constructor static. Ie:
# static this() {
# metaData.length = MLdataNo;
# }
The error message could be a little more helpful, I suppose. Maybe by suggesting that what you seem to want is a 'static this()'.

Ah thanx... alas since it is not possible to search newsgroups, I was not able to find the initial post, that not doubt was correct.
