Jonathan M Davis <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #1 from Jonathan M Davis <[email protected]> 2011-08-08 21:53:05 PDT --- Personally, I think that all character literals should be typed as dchar, since it's generally a _bad_ idea to operate on individual chars or wchars. Normally, the only places that chars or wchars should be used is in ranges of chars or wchars (which would normally be arrays). But making character literals dchar be default might break too much code at this point. Though, since it should be possible to use range propagation to verify whether a particular code point will fit in a particular code unit, the breakage might be minimal. Regardless, I actually never would have expected s[0 .. 2] = '�' to work, since you're assigning a character to multiple characters as far as types go, though I can see why you might think that it would work or why it arguably _should_ work. Obviously though, if the compiler is allowing you to assign a code point to multiple code units like that, it should only compile if it can verify that the code unit will fit exactly in those code units, and if it does compile, it should work correctly rather than generate garbage. So, there are several issues at work here it seems. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
