I created bug report on this:
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16569
This isn't a bug. It's illegal to access the front or back of
an empty range. (If anything is a bug, it's the
nondescriptiveness of the error.) You should write this instead:
void main()
{
string str = "";
auto split = str.splitter('.');
if(!split.empty) writeln(split.back);
}
When I pass empty string to splitter in most of languages I
expect to get list with 1 item (empty string) as a result, but I
get error instead. And I see inconsistency in that .front behaves
normally, but .back is not. Usually I access front of range
directly without any check when I expect it to have exactly 1
item. But in this case it not working and is very strange.
