This is for me the last remaining D2 issue.
That would make it difficult to do things like:
int*[] foo(int *p)
{
return [p, p + 1];
}
as all the elements of the literal would also have to be immutable. I
think you've made a good case, but there is also this issue.
IIRC, it was discussed before and the following solution was suggested:
T[] toArray(T)(T[] values...)
{
return values.dup; // not sure why dup is needed here, but DMD2.039
complains about escaping reference
}
int main()
{
int* p = null;
int*[] array = toArray(p, p + 1);
assert(array.length == 2);
assert(array[0] is p);
assert(array[1] is (p + 1));
return 0;
}
In my opinion, this is a minor use case that has graceful solution, in no
way it is a show stopper.
