There is the ".ptr" so this cast is not useful in practice. And generally this cast is refused by DMD 2.056 as you see in the following program, so you are introducing/leaving an useless special case: struct Foo { int* p; size_t n; } void main() { Foo f; auto x = cast(int*)f; } So I think cast(int*)a1 should be forbidden. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
