monarch_dodra:
I reacted to your bug entry.
Thank you very much for your comments. I am wrong all the time...
I have written a small answer.
However, copy could be improved with the knowledge that a dchar
can be streamed into a series of chars (EG, the way an
appender!(char[]) can handle taking a dchar), and improved to
handle cases it didn't handle before.
Is your improvement enough to solve this problem of mine?
import std.range, std.algorithm;
void main() {
char[5] arr;
auto r = 5.iota.map!(i => cast(char)(i + 'a'));
static assert(is(typeof(r.front) == char)); // OK
r.copy(arr[]); // error
}
Is that Issue 10718 to be closed, or do you suggest to turn it
into an enhancement request for your proposed improvements of
"copy" and "array"?
Bye,
bearophile
