           Summary: CTFE: foreach(Tuple) won't compile if Tuple contains
                    string
           Product: D
           Version: 1.025
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: rejects-valid
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla@digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: clugdbug@yahoo.com.au


Oddly, it compiles if you commment out the ; -- the foreach has to be non-empty. Behaviour is quite odd; if there are several items in the tuple, it will work if you don't use the whole tuple; eg Types[0..$-1] and Types[1..$] will work. So it sounds like some kind of memory corruption/unterminated string or similar.

Possibly the root cause of some of the bugs in issue 1298.

bug.d(9): Error: cannot evaluate foo() at compile time
---
int foo(Types...)() {
    foreach(T; Types) {
        ;   // will compile if you remove this line
    }
    return 0;
}

const int q = foo!("")();

This workaround for this bug has changed. On 1.039, it now fails even if you comment out the marked line. But it compiles if you add [] to the string.

int foo(Types...)() {
    foreach(T; Types) {
        ;
    }
    return 0;
}

const int q = foo!("abc"[])(); // OK
