	HexadecimalH:

however the following code which should compile and run (printing
"3756") infact crashes the compiler (0.56):

int main(char[][] args){
    printf("%d\n", each);
    return 0;
}

If 'each' is first defined as an int and given a value, thus:

int main(char[][] args){
    int each = 1;
    printf("%d\n", each);
    return 0;
}

then the code compiles and when run the program prints "1".

Meanwhile, an identifier that does not match the HexadecimalH
production, thus:

int main(char[][] args){
    printf("%d\n", eachone);
    return 0;
}

is correctly reported as being undefined.

HexadecimalH (in this case at least) seems to be broken.

Do we really need it???

This should be:

     HexadecimalH:
         DecDigit h
         DecDigit H
         DecDigit HexDigits h
         DecDigit HexDigits H

Err, it reports the correct error here on the same version.

No, it should be removed from the doc. -Walter

Thought not...

On-line syntax highlighting for "The D journal" just got easier...
