           Summary: CTFE fails for null arrays
           Product: D
           Version: 1.019
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla@digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: samukha@voliacable.com


Neither of the if's compile:

int foo()
{
    char[] s;

    if (s)
    {
    }

    if (s == null)
    {
    }

    if (s is null)
    {
    }

    if (s == "")
    {
    }

    if (s.length)
    {
    }

    return 0;
}

void main()
{
        static x = foo();
}

If s is initialized to a literal, only the last two if's compile successfully.

When filing bugs, please include the error messages rather than merely stating that something doesn't compile.

bz1375.d(30): Error: cannot evaluate foo() at compile time

I wish the error message was informative enough to be worth writing. Anyway, thanks for pointing that out.

Another example of probably same bug:

char[] copy(char[] x)
{
    char[] ret;
    foreach(c; x) {
        ret ~= c;
    }
    return ret;
}
pragma(msg, copy(``));


Error:
test_ext.d(83): pragma msg string expected for message, not 'null'

Can work around by changing
    char[] ret;
to
    char[] ret = ``;

This works in DMD2.027 and DMD1.042.
