ERROR - "cannot implicitly convert expression (s) of type int[3u] to int*"

[Chick Corea]

[NOTE - sent twice as I was unsure that first attempt,
pre-subscription, was received.]

Working through the basics of D and running into simple problems that I
cannot solve, such as:

    Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (s) of type int[3u] to int*
    Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (a) of type int[] to int*

Those are the result of code that I pulled directly from the D v1 docs from

    http://www.digitalmars.com/d/1.0/arrays.html

Specifically, the code is this.

        int* p;
        int[3] s;
        int[] a;
        p = s;
        p = a;

I initially encountered this problem with the mark/release example code from
the D v2 docs - here:

   http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/memory.html

When I entered that code, it failed to compile.  After debugging a few errors,
such as std/outofmemory.d being replaced by core.memory, I was left
w/ the same error as above but w/ void*/void[].

What is wrong w/ that ?  How is it different from the docs that it does not
work ?  More importantly, what rule is being violated so that we won't
encounter similar problems.

I am using dmd v1.062 for v1 code, and dmd v2.047, downloaded and
installed today onto a  WinXP system.

Any help would be appreciated.  D looks very promising for a real
application that I need to write, as if it could provide the performance
of C/C++ with the programmer-productivity of Perl/Python/etc.
But if the time that we save writing the app in D will be lost to debugging
simple problems like this then I won't have much of a choice.

Thanks in advance.
