I'm not sure why this is happening, but after simplifying my code I traced it back to what the title may suggest. The original cause of my issues being summarized by debug print statements returning a union as:
>Mat([nanf, nanF, . . . .], [[1.0F, 0.0F, . . . .])
Even though the nanF should thus be 1.0, 0.0, etc...
This is example code that describes when this happens:
import std.stdio;
struct Apple(uint size) {
union {
int[size * size] a;
int[size][size] b;
}
static immutable typeof(this) pie = _pie();
private static typeof(this) _pie() pure {
typeof(this) result;
static foreach (i; 0 .. size)
static foreach (j; 0 .. size)
//result.a[i + j * size] = 1; // Works
result.b[i][j] = 1; // Fails
return result;
}
}
void main() {
Apple!(4) a = Apple!(4).pie;
writeln(a.a);
writeln(a.b);
}
The working code changes the first integers to 1, the failing version keeps them at 0.
What's the reason for this? Logically this doesn't seem troublesome to me, and if assigning to non-initial anonymous union varialbes isn't possible(?!) that would be pretty bad, and I'd be in for quite some trouble in my actual code :(
