           Summary: Dynamic array creation
           Product: D
           Version: 2.012
          Platform: All
               URL: http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/arrays.html
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla@digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: gide@nwawudu.com


To create a dynamic arrays the following first example is ok, but the second fails, maybe the second method should compile? Also, the documentation does not mention the "abc"[] method to create a dynamic array.

Example
-------
auto str1 = "abc"[]; // OK
auto str2 = ['a', 'b', 'c'][]; // Error, invalid syntax?

The following example now compiles in DMD v2.020, but it wasn't mentioned in the changelog, but the docs don't mention "abc"[] as a method of creating dynamic arrays.

test.d
------
import std.stdio;

void main() {
        auto str1 = "abc"[]; // OK
        auto str2 = ['a', 'b', 'c'][];
        writefln(typeof(str1).stringof);
        writefln(typeof(str2).stringof);
}

Output
------
invariant(char)[]
char[]

This now works as array literals are dynamic arrays.
