Are there any differences between these two fragments, besides the syntax?

char [] buf = new char [count];

char [] buf;
buf.length = count;

I ask because when I use the first method and then pass it to Mango's Atoi.parse, sometimes I get:

Error: ArrayBoundsError /Users/carlos/Development/d/mango-2.0/mango/convert/Atoi.d(175)

But when I use the second method, I never get that error. In both cases I'm using the same data, which unfortunately is too large and complex to make a reduced test case.

I'm using GDC 0.17 on Mac. Could this be Mac only or GDC only?

Is it always "count" or are you ever using "length" inside the brackets for new?

Always "count".
