Issue ID: 13775
Summary: Broken explicit casting of dynamic array slices of
known size to static array of different type
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Keywords: ice, rejects-valid
Severity: regression
Priority: P1
Component: DMD
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
This code used to compile:
---
void main()
{
ubyte[4] ubytes;
byte[2] bytes = cast(byte[2]) ubytes[0 .. 2];
}
---
main.d(4): Error: e2ir: cannot cast ubytes[0..2] of type ubyte[] to type
byte[2]
---
In case it was an accept-invalid bug, what is the reason to disallow the
feature and break user code without any deprecation message and with such
unpleasant minor ICE message?
