how to do iota(0,256) with ubytes ?
and more generally:
iota with 'end' parameter set to max range of a type.
of course this doesn't work:
auto b=iota(ubyte(0), ubyte(256));
//cannot implicitly convert expression (256) of type int to
ubyte
Could we have a function with iota_inclusive that has
inclusive bounds for 'end' parameter ?
A bounds parameter would be nice, like in std.random.uniform.
For anyone googling for a solution to this, here's a workaround:
auto b = iota(0, 256).map!"cast(ubyte)a";
Unfortunately this doesn't scale to iterating over all values
of long or ulong.
ugh, didn't see other people had posted the same response, the
thread got split...
