I know i've been going a different route with the code since so i am not sure where exactly it was, and can't duplicate the problem now. However single-lining through it brings up a question of assumption. Aren't array's (dynamic and otherwise) filled with 0's by default? Str_BigNum add(in Str_BigNum rhs) { Str_BigNum tmp; char res[]; res.length = _result.length + 1; res[1 .. $] = _result[]; //res[0] should be null, right?? _addsub!("+")(res, rhs._result); tmp._result = res; return tmp; }
