I am new in D, but saw some strage behavour.
Overlapping is detected for + and * array operation, but not for
- and /.
import std.stdio;
void main()
{
int[] slice = [2, 2, 2, 2];
int[] slice2 = slice[0 .. $ - 1];
int[] slice3 = slice[1 .. $];
writeln("slice before: ", slice);
writeln("slice2 before: ", slice2);
writeln("slice3 before: ", slice3);
const auto cmd = "slice3[] = slice2[] + slice3[];";
writeln( "cmd: ", cmd );
mixin( cmd );
writeln("slice after : ", slice);
writeln("slice2 after : ", slice2);
writeln("slice3 after : ", slice3);
}
When this code is run at 'dlang.org'
slice before: [2, 2, 2, 2]
slice2 before: [2, 2, 2]
slice3 before: [2, 2, 2]
cmd: slice3[] = slice2[] + slice3[];
object.Error@(0): Overlapping arrays in vector operation: 8

If change + to -
