In C/C++, I am used to building static data structures using pointers embedded
in the initializers, like so:


struct NODE {
int data;
NODE *next;
}

static NODE nodetbl[3] = [
{0,&nodetbl[1]},
{0,&nodetbl[2]},
{0,null}
];


How might I do this sort of thing in D, seeing as I must only use constant
initializers for arrays?

Thanks,
Dan

Of course, this seems to work:

static NODE nodetbl[3] = 
[
{0,(NODE*)nodetbl + 1},
{0,(NODE*)nodetbl + 2},
{0,null}
];

It does seem odd that ((NODE*)nodetbl + 1) is constant, but &nodetbl[1] is not.
