I was trying to figure out how to use templates with alias parameters
and i wasn't able to figure it out, but i got this internal error

Internal error: ..\ztc\out.c 1127

with this code:

import std.stream;
import std.c.stdio;

alias std.stream.stdout stdout;

template Foo(alias T)
{
 void Foo()
 {
  stdout.writeLine(T);
 }
}

int main ( char [] [] args )
{
 char[] x = "hello";

 alias Foo!(x) fooinst;
 Foo!(x)();

 return 1;

</CODE>

I get "Internal error: ..\ztc\out.c 1127"
if instead of "static int y=100;" i write "int y=100;"

But i don't understand the behaviour of the above code!
Why does this code print "hello" five times?

I expected it to print:
hello
100
world
hello
100

What am i missing?

I don't get an error, but the assignment doesn't happen without the 
static keyword. I am one version behind on dmd and I think I am up to 
date with dgc, both running on linux.

 But i don't understand the behaviour of the above code!

This is what I get with both dmd and dgc using your code. When I drop 
the 'static' keyword from the int declaration, '100' is replaced by '0'. 
Then if I do a seperate assignment, that works either way. i.e.

<CODE>
...
int y;
 

  y=100;
  ...
</CODE>

works as expected.

 What am i missing?

I am not sure.

What does it print when you run it?
All i get is:
hello
hello
hello
hello
hello
