Summary: Deferencing a dynamic array as pointer Product: D Version: 2.041 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Windows Status: NEW Keywords: accepts-invalid Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: DMD AssignedTo: nob...@puremagic.com ReportedBy: bearophile_h...@eml.cc --- Comment #0 from bearophile_h...@eml.cc 2010-03-20 05:57:22 PDT --- This D2 code is currrently allowed, but I think it has to become a syntax error, dynamic arrays are not pointers: void main() { int[] a1 = [5, 4, 3]; assert(*a1 == 5); alias typeof(a1) T1; assert(is(typeof(*T1))); int* p1 = cast(int*)a1; assert(p1 == a1.ptr); } ---------------- Similar code can be written for a fixed-size array like: int[3] a2 = [5, 4, 3]; For fixed-size arrays such conversions to pointers can be more acceptable. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
