Issue ID: 24072
Summary: cast(__vector) array literal incorrectly triggers GC
error
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: P1
Component: dmd
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Testcase:
```
import core.simd;
struct Mins {
int4 val;
}
void OK() @nogc {
Mins b = Mins([1,2,3,4]);
}
void not_OK() @nogc {
Mins b = Mins(cast(__vector(int[4]))[1,2,3,4]);
}
```
gives error:
<source>(12): Error: array literal in @nogc function example.not_OK may cause a
GC allocation
But this code does not trigger GC allocation of the array, and thus should be
accepted. `cast(int[4])` does work, so that logic should be extended to allow
casting to vector types.
