Right. Length is fixed until (re)allication. > starting with: > > int[] arr = new int[15]; > > assigning to length > > arr.length = 30; > > would always become > > auto tmp = new int[30]; > tmp[0..min(arr.length,$)] = arr[0..min(tmp.length,$)]; > arr = tmp; Either that or a simple compile error... It's also possible a middle ground where only const(T)[] is fixed length until (re)allocation. I'm hoping there will be good discussion on the pros and cons of alternatives.
