           Summary: [2.054 beta regression] Regex cannot take a char[]
           Product: D

          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD

The code below will not compile:

import std.regex;

void main(){
    auto re = regex("foo".dup);
}

src\phobos\std\regex.d(1537): Error: cannot cast a
read-only string literal to mutable in CTFE
src\phobos\std\regex.d(1537): Error: cannot evaluate
tuple("","\x01") at compile time

I think there is a bug report on this, but also notice the instantiation line isn't given (only the line in regex.d).

Well it's not a bug in DMD. The issue is that CTFE got an upgrade, and detects
more subtle bugs it seems.
The main issue is that it no longer works with mutable patterns.
This also fails:
import std.regex;
void main(){
    char[] a = new char[256];
    auto re = regex(a);
}

So it's a bug in std.regex, at that exact line. (Again: it is an issue of
sloppy typecheck)
I'll see about a proper fix.

I wasn't sure as I didn't really expect any CTFE to be happening.
