The code in dmd that disallows this is ancient, and may well address a problem that no longer exists. Can you remember why you disabled it in the first place? Did you document this anywhere? As for overloading, this code works as expected as the conversion to const(char)* is preferred. import core.stdc.stdio; void call(const(char)* str) { printf("const(char)*\n"); } void call(const(void)* str) { printf("const(void)*\n"); } void call(const(int)[] arr) { printf("const(int)[]\n"); } void call(const(void)[] arr) { printf("const(void)[]\n"); } void main() { call("abc"); // prints const(char)* call([1, 2, 3]); // prints const(int)[] } > I'm not content with this change > simply passing the existing test suite. It's a more subtle, substantive change > than that. What _would_ you be content with? Unless someone can come up with an actual problem, putting this on hold is simply a waste of time. If this does turn out to cause a regression, it can trivially be rolled back. -- Configure issuemail: https://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
