           Summary: Slice of typedef'ed array should preserve the typedef'ed
                    type
           Product: D
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla@digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: andrei@metalanguage.com


typedef const(char)[] A;
A stripl(A s)
{
    uint i;
    return s[i .. $];
}

This should work. A slice of a typedef'ed array should not spoil the typedef.

typedef as subtype of const(char)[] just "inherits" methods of its supertype
including opSlice :)
which is defined as
const(char)[] opSlice(size_t, size_t)

That's true of operator overloads defined by the programmer.  This, OTOH, is a built-in operation on a built-in type form.  Therefore the code is valid, just like

typedef int Value;
Value a, b, c;
...
a = b + c;
