--- Comment #5 from Jonathan M Davis <jmdavisp...@gmx.com> 2012-12-30 17:26:28 PST --- > Look again. It's not indexing an array, it's indexing a pointer. Hmmm. Yes, you're right. It's indexing a pointer. I guess that that's currently considered @safe, though underneath the hood, it's really no different from pointer arithmetic. Dereferencing the pointer should be fine, and ptr[0] should be fine for that same reason, but ptr[x] could be doing who-knows-what and isn't really any different from *(ptr + x), so that should be considered @system and isn't. So, I'd say that the problem is that indexing a pointer is considered @safe when it shouldn't be, presumably because it's not explicit pointer arithmetic. The fact that you were talking about pointer arithmetic threw me off, since the explicit pointer arithmetic _isn't_ @safe, and I guess that Walter got thrown off in a similar way when he made pointer arithmetic @system. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
