digitalmars.D.learn - How to initialise array of ubytes?

a way to do this other than using a couple of loops?

This works:

enum MAPSIZE = 3;
void main() {
     ubyte[MAPSIZE][MAPSIZE] map2 = 1;
}


This doesn't work:

enum MAPSIZE = 3;
ubyte[MAPSIZE][MAPSIZE] map1 = ubyte(1);
void main() {}

Why isn't this working?

I'm afraid I don't know. I would guess it's something to do with 
trying to initialise the array in the global scope but you've 
also changed the expression in the non-working example. I don't 
have access to my machine at present so I can't experiment!

More generally, it's because one is static (as in global / 
thread-local) and the other is not. Take the working example, put 
"static" in front of the declaration, and you'll get the same 
error.

There are different rules regarding the initialization of static 
and non-static variables. My guess, they're implemented as 
separate features in the compiler, so when vector operations were 
introduced, nobody thought to implement this feature as a way to 
initialize static arrays as well.

Do you also know why the simplest syntax doesn't work? Can't it 
be implemented and added to the D language?

I don't know. But this works too:

module main;
import std.stdio;

int[5][5] p;

static this() {
	p = 1;
}

void main() {
	writeln(p);
}

Glad to hear it's not just me being dense for a change :D
