import std.array;

void main() {
      auto s = "abc";
      auto r = s.split("");

      assert(false); // won't ever be reached
}


The assert is never reached, for whatever reason, the compiler hangs (possible in an infinite loop somewhere).

Warning, this will cause a memory explosion and you *will* eventually get an OutOfMemoryException.

import std.algorithm;
import std.stdio;

void main() {
      auto s = "abc";
      writeln(s.find("").length); // prints 3 - what the?
      writeln(s.find(",").length); // prints 0 - expected
      writeln(s.find("b").length); // prints 2 - expected
}

The problem is from the second implementation of the `splitter` in
std/algorithm.d (:2118). Possibly rooted in erroneous output from find (see
above).

As was explained to me by CyberShadow, it does not appear to be erroneous output from find; but most likely just an edge case in splitter.

The culprit lies in the fact that when find() returns a string the same length as the input; _frontLength is then left as `0`.

This later leads to the following result in popFront():

_input = _input[_frontLength + separatorLength .. _input.length];

is equal to

_input = _input[0 .. _input.length];

Ie, unchanged.
Therefore, the range remains the same length, and never completes.
