is(...) with alias this
Hi! I just read the David's post http://forum.dlang.org/thread/kc9e74$bg7$1...@digitalmars.com " This code worked with dmd 2.060: import std.stdio; import std.traits; struct OhWhy(S) { S[] arr; alias arr this; } void main() { static assert(isArray!(OhWhy!(float))); } But fails with dmd 2.061: ss.d(10): Error: static assert (isArray!(OhWhy!(float))) is false (same happens with alias this to static arrays and isArray/isStaticArray) Is this intended or a regression? If latter, I'll submit a bug-ticket. " When I read this I understood that I don't know what should return is(OhWhy!float unused == T[],T) Of course OhWhy!float implicit convertable into float[].But on the other hand is with == (not :) should check the type without conversions. What do you think? DMD 2.060 HEAD evaluate is(OhWhy!float unused == T[],T) -> true
Re: is(...) with alias this
I think the alias this transformation is done 'before' any usual conversion. I guess it's a real replacement inside the code (I'm not sure how to explain my feeling). But in any case, since OhWhy!(float) type is ... OhWhy!(float), I agree this should fail.

This warrants a ticket in bugzilla.
