Bug 870 is not completely fixed. It still gives missing line numbers.

I wrote a short piece on this topic : http://larsivi.net/node/114

As it is, I will recommend against using this release for Tango users.

I would really appreciate it if W would send release candidates (for the intended stable branch) to some bigger projects for testing.

I just found another issue with dmd that breaks Tango (looks like a bug
in dmd rather than Tango).
(bugzilla is coming..)

Hm, I can't reproduce the problem after messing up my system a bit.
Maybe someone with Tango and dmd 1.032 could test if
isStaticArrayType!(char[])
compiles.

BTW, Don, thanks for commenting all the bugs as 'fixed' (at least for 1.032).  Walter can you please at least delegate someone to do this for every release?  I can't always remember which bugs I am CC'd on or have reported, so it is nice to see that it is fixed in my email.

No, it doesn't.

I've only done the 'missing line number' bugs, and the ones I'd reported.
BTW: All known 'missing line number' bugs are now fixed, except for #870. There were 16 such bugs in bugzilla.

Arrrgh!

While it's invalid to return a static array from a function, it does seem like this could have undesired consequences:

    T fn(T)( T val ) { return val; }

Shouldn't the above be valid for all types?
