Issue ID: 17816 Summary: Casting of AliasSeq is silently ignored Product: D Version: D2 Hardware: x86 OS: All Status: NEW Keywords: accepts-invalid Severity: minor Priority: P1 Component: dmd Assignee: nob...@puremagic.com Reporter: simen.kja...@gmail.com import std.meta : AliasSeq; AliasSeq!(float) a; auto b = cast(int)a; static assert(is(typeof(b[0]) == float)); The above assert passes. I would argue the cast is nonsensical and should result in a compilation failure, though an argument could be presented for casting all elements to int. Neither of these happen with the current compiler. --
