Hi Don!
Thanks for your suggestion. I finally solved my problem.
1. showCtfeExpr() does not show array literals but always "void". If the
operation is TOKarrayliteral then the variables sd and cd are NULL.
Inside the loop to print the elements there is no assignment to z which
should hold the value of the current element. Therefore the function
always outputs "void". (Happens with dmd on Windows, too.)
2. After I understand the (wrong) output I was able to find the place
where the null bytes where created. The culprit is ctfeCat(). Inside
this function the array elements are copied with memcpy(). The source is
always a variable v of type dinteger_t. This inherently assumes a little
endian architecture. But Linux/PPC is big endian - therefore the null
bytes.
I am going to check if there are other endian-related problems and then
I prepare a pull request for it.
Thanks for your help again.

Hi!
While trying to port LDC to PPC64 I ran into the following CTFE issue. This
small program (reduced from std.conv.to!string(int)):
import core.stdc.stdio : printf;
string toStr()
{
char x[];
x.length = 16;
x[0..3] = "666";
x.length = 3;
return cast(string) x;
}
string gencode()
{
return "int x = " ~ toStr ~ ";";
}
void main()
{
mixin(gencode());
printf("Value of gencode: |%s|\n", gencode().ptr);
}
produces the error:
bug2.d(19): Error: expression expected, not 'EOF'
bug2.d(19): Error: semicolon expected, not 'EOF'
(the mixin statement is in line 19)
From the log I conclude that it must have something to do with the split
range and array join:
bug2.d(8) VarExp::interpret() x
REF ASSIGN: x=['6', '6', '6']
ARRAY LITERAL type=char[] 0x10011b59040:
void
void
void
bug2.d(9) ReturnStatement::interpret(cast(string)x)
bug2.d(9) CastExp::interpret() cast(string)x
bug2.d(9) VarExp::interpret() x
RETURN bug2.d(9)
ARRAY LITERAL type=char[] 0x10011b59040:
void
void
void
Something has gone wrong by this point. x is still [void, void, void],
when it should be ['6','6','6'].
Looks as though the assignment didn't happen properly.
Does anybody have a hint how I can reduce this further? E.g. is there a way
to view the content of the array?
showCtfeExpr(arr).
Probably you can get a reduced test case like
static assert(toStr()=="666");
I don't think the mixin bit is relevant, unless it's a compilation order issue.
Thanks in advance.
Kai
