# Change Log: 2.062

Download D 2.062
released Feb 18, 2013

#### Language Changes

1. typeof() change:

As a result of fixing Bugzilla 6408, the usage of typeof() and indexing may require changes to user code:

    template ElementTypeOf(T)
    {
        alias typeof(T[0]) ElementTypeOf;
    }

    void main()
    {
        // worked in 2.061 due to a bug
        static assert(is(ElementTypeOf!(int[]) == int));
    }

The expression in typeof(T[0]) used to be wrongly interpreted as the element type of T, however in v2.062 it is interpreted as a static array of element T with length 0. To work around this the user can either use a trait from the standard library, or use the .init property of a type for arbitrary expressions:

    import std.range;

    template ElementTypeOf(T)
    {
        // use T.init
        alias typeof(T.init[0]) ElementTypeOf;
    }

    void main()
    {
        // use std.range.ElementType
        static assert(is(ElementType!(int[]) == int));

        // use custom template after fixing its code
        static assert(is(ElementTypeOf!(int[]) == int));
    }

2. alias syntax change:

The newly introduced "alias foo = int" syntax is not usable with subtyping. This is to prevent confusion from a possible future syntax which would enable aliasing of super constructors. For now, the existing alias syntax can be used:

    struct S
    {
        int x;
        // alias this = x;  // error
        alias x this;
    }

In the upcoming release (v2.063) a new syntax will be introduced:

    struct S
    {
        int x;
        alias this : x;  // new feature in upcoming 2.063
    }
