I use DMD 0.113 on Linux and the following snippet

void Foo()
{
  void[] bar;
  void[] foo;

  bar.length = 50;
  foo.length = 50;

  for(int i=0; i<50; i++)
  {
    foo[i] = bar[i];
  }
}

gives me

Internal error: ../ztc/cod4.c 352

When you comment out
// foo[i] = bar[i]

It'll compile without errors. It gives me the same error, when casting to void.

Now is this valid D? Or should I use ubyte[] or byte[] instead of void[]?

Greetings,

Lukas

I'm not sure if it's valid to set or get the value of a void, but it certainly shouldn't crash the compiler.

You're probably better off using byte[] or ubyte[] instead, because honestly, what IS a void?  ;)

Well, ask yourself, are you copying bytes or copying voids (whatever they
are)?

It isn't valid code, but it shouldn't crash the compiler.
