Struct initialization is different. Try this: public static DST[char[]] AA = [ "Africa/Asmara"[]: {5, "bla"[]} ] ; BR Marcin Kuszczak (aarti_pl)

         [
             "Africa/Asmara"[]: {5, "bla"[]}
         ]
     ;
yeah I've tried that too: Error: not an associative array initializer I have also tried this: align(1) struct DST { private int test; private char[] secondtest; public static DST[char[]] AA = [ "Africa/Asmara": DST(5, "bla") ] ; } Error: non-constant expression ["Africa/Asmara":(DST(5,"bla"))]

 align(1)
 struct DST {

    private int test;
    private char[] secondtest;

    public static DST[char[]] AA =
        [
            "Africa/Asmara": DST(5, "bla")
        ]
    ;
 }

 Error: non-constant expression ["Africa/Asmara":(DST(5,"bla"))]
It's because AA initializers are not constants :P AAs initializers are run at runtime, they cannot be stored in the static data segment so they cannot be constants. You'll have to split it up: public static DST[char[]] AA; static this() { AA = ["Africa/Asmara": DST(5, "bla")]; }

thank you!
