           Summary: std.algorithm.sort problem with struct with char[10]
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: rejects-valid
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Phobos
        AssignedTo: nobody@puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: bearophile_hugs@eml.cc

This D2 program tries to sort in-place a dynamic array of Foo according to just the first int x field (the third sort works on the whole structs), but when T is a char the program doesn't compile:


import std.algorithm: sort, schwartzSort;
alias char T; // doesn't work
//alias int T; // works
struct Foo {
    int x;
    T[10] a;
}
void main() {
    auto array = new Foo[10];
    sort!("a.x > b.x")(array);
    static bool myComp(Foo f1, Foo f2) { return f1.x < f2.x; }
    sort!(myComp)(array);
    sort(array);
}



DMD 2.051 prints:
...\dmd\src\phobos\std\conv.d(99): Error: template std.conv.toImpl(T,S) if
(!implicitlyConverts!(S,T) && isSomeString!(T) && isInputRange!(Unqual!(S)) &&
isSomeChar!(ElementType!(S))) toImpl(T,S) if (!implicitlyConverts!(S,T) &&
isSomeString!(T) && isInputRange!(Unqual!(S)) && isSomeChar!(ElementType!(S)))
matches more than one template declaration,
...\dmd\src\phobos\std\conv.d(114):toImpl(T,S) if (!implicitlyConverts!(S,T) &&
isSomeString!(T) && isInputRange!(Unqual!(S)) && isSomeChar!(ElementType!(S)))
and ...\dmd\src\phobos\std\conv.d(224):toImpl(T,S) if (isStaticArray!(S))

Never mind this part of the message, it's wrong code.
