Actually, I have another question before the one in the subject line: How 
many types of arrays are there in D? THEN, I would like to know their 
layout/structure in memory.

There's one type, and its structure is described in the ABI: http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/abi.html

How wide is length? And really? There's only one array type? D's age showing!

Dynamic arrays are internally just a pointer and a length, so there only needs to be one structure.

The good thing is that in this newsgroup there is only one troll to feed (that keeps changing name), so it's not a big burden :-) Bye, bearophile
