Summary: to!() can not convert from wide characters to char Product: D Version: D2 Platform: Other OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: Phobos AssignedTo: nob...@puremagic.com ReportedBy: aa...@interia.pl --- Comment #0 from Marcin Kuszczak <aa...@interia.pl> 2010-10-08 01:03:34 PDT --- Test case: void main() { //Instantiation error dchar from0 = 'A'; char to0 = to!(char)(from0); //Instantiation error wchar from1 = 'A'; char to1 = to!(char)(from1); //Ok char from2 = 'A'; char to2 = to!(char)(from2); //Ok char from3 = 'A'; wchar to3 = to!(wchar)(from3); //Ok char from4 = 'A'; dchar to4 = to!(dchar)(from4); } It's interesting case as failing conversions should not always succeed (e.g. when wchar/dchar can not be coded in one byte), while in many cases they are perfectly valid. I am starting thinking that assuming that strings/chars are just arrays is quite a big mistake in D design: it introduces a lot of corner cases. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
