Hello,

New to D, coming from C++.  Why does the following code compile and run?  I was
expecting an error about A.x not being accessible.


// test.d

class A

int x;
}
}

void main()
{
A a = new A;
a.x = 0;
}


Compiled with the dmd.exe dated Apr 6,2005-- don't know how to get the version
number from the program, is there a way? ;)

Compile cmd line:

dmd -I. -debug -g -inline -unittest -c -oftest.obj test.d
dmd -oftest.exe test.obj -debug -g -inline -unittest
C:\dmd\bin\..\..\dm\bin\link.exe test,test.exe,,user32+kernel32/co/noi;

Still outstanding, is there a way to query dmd.exe for its build version?

If you type just "dmd" at the command line, all kinds of useful facts 
appear (including the version number). ;)

There is, but it would be more useful to specify it in the *code* ?

That way, D code that uses experimental features like '$' for arrays
could (somehow) require that in the source code, to make it easier...

Unfortunately, "version" can only have a on/off and not any values.
So you can do "version(DigitalMars)", but not "version(DMD >= 0.116)"

The attribute 'private' works a little differently in D. It means that
anything that is made 'private' can only be seen by code in the same
module. And the module is the source file in D. If you need to have 'x'
hidden from the code in 'main', place the class definition in a different
file (module) and import that module into test.d

[classA.d]
module classA;
class A
{
 private
 {
 int x;
 }
 }


[test.d] 
import classA;
 void main()
 {
 A a = new A;
 a.x = 0;
 }

To compile this you then need to do ...

  dmd test.d classA.d

or use my Build utility ...

 build test

That is very practical.  I think I will enjoy working with this much more than
the C++ friend kludge. ;)

Ah many thanks Derek!  I missed the version line.
