The program below crashes with "Bus error" when trying to compile from the command line on Mac OS X 10.6.3. I know this was not crashing the compiler a few versions ago (some time early january 2010).

---
import std.conv;

struct SomeStruct { }

void main() {
    auto s = to!SomeStruct("hello");
}
---

It is a real problem for me that it crashes the compiler since I'm using a __traits(compile, ...) with something similar for conditional compilation, and this does not work anymore.

---
import std.conv;

struct SomeStruct { }

void main() {
    static if (__traits(compiles, to!SomeStruct("hello"))) {
        auto s = to!SomeStruct("hello");
    }
}

It dies on Windows, too, so it's not an OSX specific problem.

Ah, great. I can use it now as it no longer crashes.

But I don't think it should give an error, it should just not match the given template.

The error you added gives a false positive in this case:

---
struct SomeStruct { }

int test(T : T[X], X)(X x) {
    return 1;
}
int test(T : SomeStruct, X)(X x) {
    return 1;
}

void main() {
    auto s = test!SomeStruct("hello");
}

Can't repro on 2.051, presumed fixed in action.
