           Summary: Can't set .length property in CTF.
           Product: D
           Version: 1.035
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla@digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: aziz.kerim@gmail.com


The page for functions says that some "properties can be executed at compile time", and it lists .length as one of those properties. Unfortunately it can only be accessed by reading it, but assigning a value to it is not possible.

For example:

char[] ctf()
{
  // Create a table:
  char[][] table = [];
  // table.length = 250; // No simple enlargement.
  // Use ugly workaround:
  for (uint i; i < 250; i++)
    table ~= [];

  char[] code = "";
  // Create code from table.
  return code;
}

pragma(msg, ctf());

I think this shouldn't be too difficult to implement.

This works in dmd1.068 (and dmd2.053).
