    const clock_t CLK_TCK = cast(clock_t) sysconf(2); // <---------- THIS
}


How can THIS be a const, hmm?

Please replace the line with: clock_t CLK_TCK(){ return cast(clock_t) sysconf(2); } Using "static this" would work for common use-cases but not if running applications are beeing migrated between different systems.

D's const isn't exactly Java's const ... http://www.digitalmars.com/d/attribute.html#const sounds good, but Thomas -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQFFoTJrLK5blCcjpWoRAst2AJ9dHVqnmfr9SJ50Dn33jaum0+kdWwCgpwtQ mt5d7tOj6i/8dveIX77ZAo8= =7oOu -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

My first instinct when I read that message was to post just such a reply, but then I noticed he wasn't talking about his own code. This is in Phobos's std.c.time module...

Yes indeed. This is D.bug, not D.learn, right? :)
