Hello,

the following example does not compile with dmd 1.05:

void main()
{
  int* p;
  int[3] s;
  for(int i=0; i < 3; i++) s[i] = i;
  p = s;
}

bug1.d(6): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (s) of type int[3] to int*

while it seems it should according to the spec (Array Declaration). It used to work in some previous version of dmd.

The following works with dmd 1.05:
p = cast(int*) s;

Try "p = s.ptr"  The implicit conversion was made illegal a while back.  You may want to submit a bug report for the docs if they don't mention this.
