Not sure whether this is a bug, or perhaps I'm misunderstanding
something, but it seems like this should work:
void main()
{
char[][] outBuf;
auto f = File("testData.txt", "r");
char[] buf;
writeln("\n**** RAW OUTPUT *****");
while (f.readln(buf))
{
write(buf);
outBuf ~= buf;
}
writeln("\n**** BUFFERED OUTPUT *****");
foreach (line; outBuf)
{
write(line);
}
}
testData.txt is just a couple of lines of miscellaneous text. The
expectation is that the raw output and the buffered output should
be exactly the same... but they are not. (If anyone would like to
see this for themselves, I stuck it in github:
https://github.com/MrTact/CharBug.)
Changing the types of outBuf and buf to dchar works as expected.
Changing outBuf to a string[] and appending buf.idup does as well.
