For the line "Writeln(w[]);" GDC reports "error: no []

I think that is just a broken example. Pretty sure it should
be `w.data` instead of `w[]`.
This was added 5 months ago.
The example is correct.

FYI: the current version of gdc exists mostly to bootstrap
future versions of gdc (because of rules surrounding gcc).
You will get instances like this where your gdc build will be
severely out of date. I would not recommend it for a new(-ish)
user as of this moment.
Adams suggestion does work. Using w.data in place of w[]
provides the expected result.
The problem is that GDC is part of GCC now, and part of the
Fedora installation I'm using. I take it then if I am to start a
new project where I may end up providing binaries, I should
eschew using the GDC compiler and use LDC instead? This kind of
consideration is not an issue when using C or C++ (at least in
Linux). By default the choice is correct.
