This code passes: Is it something that was fixed recently (within the last two weeks)? My two-week-old dmd git build and dpaste still print offsets for wchar* and dchar*: http://dpaste.dzfl.pl/26a2b284 > So, you expect %s on a pointer to give you the string that it points to? Why? I think that, before all else, we should be looking for good reasons why format("%s", foo) and to!string(foo) produce different results. Why should one format the offset and the other do a conversion? Second, I believe that the principle of least surprise is making this case rather clear: if the programmer tries to print a char*, it's almost certain that they want to print the null-terminated string at the given address, rather than a hexadecimal representation of the address (which are rarely useful to the end-user). Generic code is the only exception I can think of, in which case a cast to void* is in order. > What _doesn't_ work is this: I think this should call the appropriate toUTFx functions from std.utf. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
