Summary: to!() fails with static arrays Product: D Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: Phobos AssignedTo: nob...@puremagic.com ReportedBy: jmdavisp...@gmx.com --- Comment #0 from Jonathan M Davis <jmdavisp...@gmx.com> 2010-10-01 22:54:00 PDT --- This code fails to compile import std.conv; import std.stdio; void main() { dchar[7] numStr = "1234567"; writeln(to!long(numStr)); } with this error /home/jmdavis/Downloaded_Files/dmd/dmd2/linux/bin/../../src/phobos/std/conv.d(95): Error: template std.conv.toImpl(T,S) if (!implicitlyConverts!(S,T) && isSomeString!(T) && isInputRange!(Unqual!(S)) && isSomeChar!(ElementType!(S))) toImpl(T,S) if (!implicitlyConverts!(S,T) && isSomeString!(T) && isInputRange!(Unqual!(S)) && isSomeChar!(ElementType!(S))) matches more than one template declaration, /home/jmdavis/Downloaded_Files/dmd/dmd2/linux/bin/../../src/phobos/std/conv.d(217):toImpl(T,S) if (isStaticArray!(S)) and /home/jmdavis/Downloaded_Files/dmd/dmd2/linux/bin/../../src/phobos/std/conv.d(588):toImpl(T,S) if ((is(S : const(wchar)[]) || is(S : const(dchar)[])) && !isSomeString!(T)) If you use numStr[] instead of numStr, it works. But I see no reason why to!() can't be made to work with a static array. Ideally, it would either turn it into a const ref or a dynamic slice itself, thus avoiding creating a copy, but right now it just fails. Maybe that's just how things go with static arrays, but it seems overly restrictive in this case. to!() shouldn't _need_ a dynamically allocated array. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
