digitalmars.D.learn - alias this ...

     /*
     this(int _x, int _y, int _z) {

}
would be nice to use alias this as struct inheritance substitute, 
especially in conjunction with Implements!()

But maybe I don't get the "alias this" thingy. So what's my mistake > TIA

Struct is value type, not reference type like class. You don't need 'new' to create it, just uncomment your constructor ('this') and remove 'new': point3D p3 = point3D(10,20,30); If you really need to allocate a point on the heap, then you'd have to use pointers: point3D* p3 = new point3D(10,20,30); Though you probably wouldn't need that much.
