           Summary: manifest constants for strings
           Product: D
           Version: 2.011
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla@digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: ddparnell@bigpond.com


The code below does not work as I expected it to.

//-----------------
import std.stdio;

void main()
{
    enum string foo = "qwerty";
    std.stdio.writefln("'%s'", foo);
    foreach(int i, char c; foo)
        writefln("[%s]%s", i, cast(int)c);

    enum fob = "qwerty";
    std.stdio.writefln("'%s'", fob);
    foreach(int i, char c; fob)
        writefln("[%s]%s", i, cast(int)c);

    const bar = "qwerty";
    std.stdio.writefln("'%s'", bar);
    foreach(int i, char c; bar)
        writefln("[%s]%s", i, cast(int)c);
}
//-----------------

I was expecting three identical strings to printout plus each character to be correct. Instead I got this ...

'qwerty'
[0]176
[1]236
[2]65
'    ÿý'
[0]0
[1]0
[2]0
[3]0
[4]152
[5]236
'qwerty'
[0]113
[1]119
[2]101
[3]114
[4]116
[5]121

Which seems to me that only the form "const x " works.

And if you think that was stringe, try this example ...

//-------------
import std.stdio;


void main()
{


    enum string foo = "qwerty";
    std.stdio.writefln("'%s'", foo);
    foreach(int i, char c; foo)
        writefln("[%s]%s", i, cast(int)c);


    enum fob = "qwerty";
    std.stdio.writefln("'%s'", fob);
    foreach(int i, char c; fob)
        writefln("[%s]%s", i, cast(int)c);


    const bar = "qwerty";
    std.stdio.writefln("'%s'", bar);
    foreach(int i, char c; bar)
        writefln("[%s]%s", i, cast(int)c);

    std.stdio.writefln("'%s'", "qwerty");
    foreach(int i, char c; "qwerty")
        writefln("[%s]%s", i, cast(int)c);
}
//---------

Looks like it's related to 1794.

What I assume is the same issue still occurs within structs as of 2.012 e.g.

//-----------------
import std.stdio;

struct Test
{
  public string Text;
}

enum Test test = { Text: "test" };

void main()
{
  std.stdio.writefln(test);
}
//-----------------

This results in the following output:

' âA ÓâA `äA ►ëA └ëA  øA á£A ►×A ǃA  ñA ­ñA ­ªA '

Sorry that should have been "std.stdio.writefln("'%s'", test.Text);".

Neil's bug is actually totally different, and not related to strings in any
way.--> Bug #2850.
The original bug is fixed.
