No line number? If so, file it in bugzilla. You might also want to file a bug for the forward reference problems.
  beside, where are the  property docs ?
No idea. This:
 	 property nextServer() {
 		return servers[0];
 	}
Needs to be property Server nextServer(). I don't know for sure, but I believe property does not cause type inference. => property void servername(string name)
 		 property servername(string name) {
 			_name = name;
 		}
=> property string servername()
 		 property servername() {
 			return _name;
 		}

I wasn't aware that property implies auto. I guess that makes sense, but I didn't consider it anything but a hint to the compiler about how it could be called, not that did anything with the type. But I guess it's similar to static... -Steve

There are a bunch of modifiers that do. protection modifiers and maybe align and a few others don't, but pretty much everything else does

Hm, this snippet does not compile : class Server { private string _name, _id; property servername(string name) { _name = name; } property string servername() { return _name; } } remove string from property and it works. On the other hand .. property Server nextServer() { return servers[0]; } compiles fine ! Guess we need the official documents... Bjoern

 remove string from  property and it works.
Maybe it's because you haven't added string to the setter? Just grasping at straws here. -- Simen

Hi Simen, yes, thats the prob. I just have not found the property docs.. thanks for all the help.. This snippet works now as expected.. D properties are just fine. Bjoern import std.stdio; import std.random; void main(string[] args) { LoadBalancer b1 = LoadBalancer.getLoadBalancer(); LoadBalancer b2 = LoadBalancer.getLoadBalancer(); LoadBalancer b3 = LoadBalancer.getLoadBalancer(); // Confirm these are the same instance if (b1 == b2 && b2 == b3 ) { writeln("Same instance\n"); } // Next, load 15 requests for a server for (int i = 0; i < 15; i++) { string serverName = b1.nextServer.servername; writeln("Dispatch request to: " ~ serverName); } } // D2 thread safe ?????? singleton final class LoadBalancer { private static LoadBalancer lb; private Server[] servers; static this() { synchronized lb = new LoadBalancer; } private this() { Server s1 = new Server(); s1.servername = "Server 1"; s1.id = ""; Server s2 = new Server(); s2.servername = "Server 2"; servers ~= s1; servers ~= s2; } public static LoadBalancer getLoadBalancer() { return lb; } property { Server nextServer() { return servers[ uniform(0, servers.length) ]; } } // inner class class Server { private string _name, _id; property { string servername(string sn) { return _name = sn; } string servername() { return _name; } string id(string id) { return _id = id; } string id() { return _id; } } } }

Ouch, you are right.. Interesting enough that property nextServer() { return ...} compiles without giving any error message.. Anyway it seems to be a forward reference bug. moving the inner Server() class in front of LoadBalancer eliminates the error msg. bjoern

ok moving the inner Server class (see prev. msg) in front of LoadBalancer works.. seems to be a forward reference bug. class Server { private string _name, _id; property servername(string name) { _name = name; } property servername() { return _name; } } final class LoadBalancer { private static LoadBalancer lb; private Server[] servers; static this() { synchronized lb = new LoadBalancer; } private this() { Server s1 = new Server(); s1.servername = "Server 1"; // NO PROBLEM } ... }
