static array of structures

[Ben Gardner]

Hi,

I'm trying to convert some C code to D, but I ran into a little problem.
The C code defines a fairly large static array of structures.
At run time, the table is scanned to find a matching string.

Below is how I think the array of structures should be written in d.
I didn't post the C code because it is nearly identical.

struct options_table
{
   option_id id;
   char []   name;
   argtype_t type;
};

options_table [] the_table =
{
   { UO_option1, "option1", AT_NUM },
   { UO_option2, "option2", AT_STRING },
   { UO_option3, "option3", AT_BOOL },
};

However, this gives me the error:
Error: a struct is not a valid initializer for a options_table []

I assume there is a simple way to do this.

Thanks in advance for any help!
Ben
