And it just works. So I don't see a particularly big problem
here.
Try this:
bool fun(){ return foo in bar; }
Isn't that an inconsistency in the language then? Are pointer
values
implicitly convertible to bool or not?
Ali
if(condition) { ... }
is equivalent to
if(cast(bool)condition) { ... }
i.e. this conversion is 'explicit'.
I'm not sure what you're talking about, there is no implicit
conversion to bool.
dmd returns:
bug.d(6): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (foo in
bar) of type int* to bool
With the cast(bool), everything works fine.
