Description Michael Parrott 2010-03-15 08:52:58 UTC 
Thought I read this before, but couldn't find anything when searching.

On http://digitalmars.com/d/1.0/index.html, the example uses the function 'writeln' which does not exist in D1.


// Object Oriented Programming
auto cl = new CmdLin(argc, argv);
// Improved typesafe printf
writeln(cl.argnum, cl.suffix, " arg: ", cl.argv);
// Automatic or explicit memory management
delete cl;

Change writeln to writefln makes it work just fine.

Is there any reason why this hasn't been fixed? It only requires a 1 character addition...

Michael P, it somebody happens that none of the D developers care about some bug.
Just forget it.
