Perhaps should have written "and/or" in the subject line since the two
are not mutually exclusive.
I was showing off D to friends the other day:
import std.stdio;
void main()
{
foreach (d; "你好")
writeln(d);
}
IIRC, this used to work fine, with the variable "d" getting deduced as
"dchar" and correctly reassembling the UTF-8 bytes into Unicode codepoints.
But when I run this code in OSX, dmd v2.064, I get this:
$ dmd -run uni.d
�
�
�
�
�
�
It's clearly printing the bytes. When I print the typeof(d) I get
"immutable(char)", so that confirms the type is not deduced as "dchar".
I could have sworn this used to work. Is my memory failing me, or was
this a deliberate change at some point? Perhaps a regression?
