Interesting reduced case, so it wasn't chain after all. Thanks 
for filing the issue already; also thanks to Nic for good test 
cases.


I think Adam D. Ruppe wanted to push more informative template 
errors -- they'd come in handy. :-)

`CommonType` uses the `?:` operator to derive the common type:

Sorry for late reply -- but I got around to test a couple more 
cases!

Okay, that sounds like our 'const' shouldn't matter. 'const' is 
the outermost qualifier, and stripping that leaves us with B[] 
and C[], which were chainable earlier.



StaticMap is like a compile time map
What this error message says is that there is one candidate 
function that matches what you are attempting to do. and that 
chain takes a variadic argument and each of those arguments must
1) when unqualified be an input range (Basically you can 
foreach over it)


Yep, const(B[]) and const(C[]) can be foreached. My workaround 
has been to replace chain() with several foreaches.


2) that the common type of the element type of the unqualified 
variadic argument types is not void (in this case not arrays of 
void)
Have you tried changing The declaration of a and b to 
const(A[])?


Surprisingly, this compiles and gives the desired output:

const(B[]) b = [ new B(), new B() ];
const(A[]) c = [ new C(), new C() ]; // A instead of C

chain(b, c).each!(a => a.val.writeln);

With two arguments, const(array) has worked iff at least one 
range is of the base type. Only if none were of the base type, I 
got the error.


Apparently, the template is smart enough to infer the common base 
type without 'const', but needs to be fed the basetype in case of 
'const'.


My gut feeling is that I should report this as a bug against 
phobos...


Also have you tried with other reference type (e.g. assoc 
arrays pointers)?


immutable(B[int]) b;
immutable(C[int]) c;

chain(b.byValue, c.byValue).each!(a => a.val.writeln);

Error is the same as for the classes:

template std.range.chain cannot deduce function
from argument types !()(Result, Result), candidates are: /* 
snip */


To get this error, again, if at least one range is 
'immutable(A[int]).byValue', i.e., using the base class A, the 
template instantiates with no problems.

this compiles again:

Why does it fail for const(array of class)?
Is any template magic about Unqual or staticMap relevant here?
