If in a D2 program I have an array of mutable items I may want to iterate on
them but not modify them, so I'd like the iteration variable to be const. This
is possible, but it seems I lose type inference:
void main() {
int[3] array; // not const
// foreach (const x; array) {} // Error
// foreach (const auto x; array) {} // Error
// foreach (const(int) x; array) {} // OK
foreach (const(typeof(array[0])) x; array) {} // OK
}
Is something wrong in that code? Is this a known limitation, an inevitable one?
Is this an enhancement request worth adding to Bugzilla?
Bye and thank you,
