Issue ID: 17148
Summary: implicit conversion to void[] violates type system
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: P1
Component: dmd

void f(int*[] a, const int*[] b)
{
void[] a1=a;
const void[] b1=b;
a1[]=b1[];
*a[0]=0; //modify const data
}
Probably void[] shouldn't be writable without an explicit cast to, say, byte[].
Pretty similar to issue 2095: cast to void[] here is an upcast and should add
const qualifier. If the data was allocated as void[] from the beginning, then
it may be writable.
