Summary: Clarify whether this is a bug or a feature Product: D Version: D2 Platform: Other OS/Version: Windows Status: NEW Keywords: spec Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: DMD AssignedTo: nob...@puremagic.com ReportedBy: dsim...@yahoo.com --- Comment #0 from David Simcha <dsim...@yahoo.com> 2011-02-17 08:30:33 PST --- The following code compiles in 64-bit mode and arguably shouldn't (but arguably should). void main() { int[] foo; foreach(uint i, elem; foo) {} } The index variable into foo is technically a size_t, not a uint. On the other hand this is arguably a feature. The idiomatic way to write a foreach loop is with implicit variable typing. The insertion of an explicit type is, IMHO, equivalent to using an explicit cast, and therefore it arguably should compile. Personally, I prefer this to be considered a feature rather than a bug, but either way I think it's important that the spec be clarified, as I've used this idiom in several places when porting code to 64-bit. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
