Cool. It compiles, but it doesn't seem to be doing exactly what I want. Say I send 2 integers from the server to the client. When I do this on the client, it seems to do the wrong thing.int first, second; auto sock = new TcpSocket(); sock.connect(new InternetAddress("localhost", 10000)); writeln( sock.receive((&first)[0..int.sizeof]) ); writeln( sock.receive((&second)[0..int.sizeof] ); This seems to print 8 and then block on the second call to receive. I thought that D was supposed to recognize that the array was only 4 bytes long and read only that much. (note: on a 32-bit machine, so int comes out to 4 bytes) When I do: writeln( (&first)[0..int.sizeof].length ); It prints 4 as it's supposed to.
&first is of type int*, so (&first)[0..int.sizeof] returns a slice pointing to int.sizeof (i.e. 4) ints, not a single one as you intend to. Just use »(&first)[0..1]« as per my original reply, and you should be fine.
