Only one would be in std.math if we want to make the elementary functions CTFE-able (we've discussed this before). But yes, I think that it is right to disallow it, as there is no clean way to slice up basic types into an array and guarantee ie: format or endian correctness at compile time (cross-compilers, for instance). -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
