In this case I am not sure about bug reports, so I ask here.
In this program the first loop doesn't compile, giving a nice
error:
test.d(3,5): Error: index type 'ubyte' cannot cover index range
0..300
If you comment out the first loop, the second compiles and runs,
but it seems to go in an infinite loop:
void main() {
int[300] data;
foreach (ubyte i, x; data) {} // Error
foreach (ubyte i, x; data[]) {} // compiles
}
For the second loop one possible alternative behavour is to
refuse a ubyte index and accept only a size_t index if it loops
on a dynamic array.
Another alternative is: the i variable can go from 0 to 255, then
go up to the modulus of the remaining indexes, and then stop.
What do you think?
