Summary: describe explicit casting of arrays Product: D Version: 2.021 Platform: PC URL: http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/arrays.html OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: www.digitalmars.com AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] It's possible and necessary at times to cast arrays for systems work. For example: ubyte[] ba = readdata(); uint[] = cast(uint[])ba; This isn't described and needs to be if it's supported in the language. I'm assuming it's supported, because otherwise many things would be difficult. Also, any limitations ala C++ aliasing rules need to be described. --
