I am not sure, but I think this code is correct:


struct Foo {
    int[2] bar;
}
const(int[2]) spam() {
    const Foo* x;
    return true ? x.bar : [10, 20];
}
void main() {}


But DMD 2.060alpha gives:

test.d(6): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression
(cast(const(int)[])(*x).bar) of type const(int)[] to const(int[2u])

The type of

   [1,2]

is int[], not int[2].

The [1,2] / [10,20] literal implicitly converts to int[2]. It is similar to the following:

struct Foo{
    short bar;
}

short spam() {
    const Foo* x;
    return true ? x.bar : 1;
}

Usually in my bug reports I add some cases where the code works, to avoid troubles like this one.


This works:


struct Foo {
    int[2] bar;
}
int[2] spam() {
    Foo* x;
    return true ? x.bar : [10, 20];
}
void main() {}


This too works:


struct Foo {
    int[2] bar;
}
const(int[2]) spam() {
    const Foo* x;
    const(int[2]) r = true ? x.bar : [10, 20];
    return r;
}
void main() {}

Is this the same as issue 8277?
