Hello D community,
The past week, I worked on fixing compilation failures in importC
involving struct delegated initializer.
struct Foo {
int x;
int y;
};
struct Bar {
struct Foo f;
};
struct Bar b = {.f.x = 3}; // Error: only 1 designator
currently allowed for C struct field initializer
struct Bar b2 = {
.f.x = 3, // Error: only 1 designator currently allowed
for C struct field initializer
.f.y = 4,
};
Issue report: https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23374
I researched into this issue and implemented a fix to it and has
been successfully merged.

Now, that importC code compiles fine and also has been tested.
Additionally, I came across some inconsistencies in the dlang
spec on importC enum. it strictly indicated that enum expressions
are typed as 'int'. and some of the examples in the language spec
was not also correct. I submitted a fix to it which has also been
merged.

In the next week, I will be working on fixing issues involving
taking the address of compound literals.
