pointer array?

[Leandro Motta Barros via Digitalmars-d-learn]

Justin's  answers seems correct to me, and I don't know anything about your
specific use case, but I cannot resist to add:

Think twice before doing this kind of things. I know that sometimes this is
necessary or handy, but one of the great things about D is that it provides
so many higher-level abstractions that we should feel ashamed to not use
them.

So, yes, an array of void* will work in D, as will many of the classic
lower-level tricks used in, say, C. But when using them, the compiler will
not be able to help you much finding errors and such. As rule I'd say that,
if you can (and we usually can), try using something higher level. (In your
case, perhaps an array of objects of some base class, or implementing a
certain interface? Or some more radical redesign?)

Cheers,

LMB
