Ticket #1777 (closed defect: duplicate)

Opened 2 years ago

Last modified 2 years ago

Tango is missing "alias char[] string" in object.di, to comply with the D1.0-specs.

Reported by: rawler Assigned to: kris
Priority: major Milestone: 0.99.9
Component: Tango Version: 0.99 RC3 Xammy
Keywords: Cc:

Description

According to the D1.0-docs, "The name string is aliased to char[]". (http://www.digitalmars.com/d/1.0/arrays.html)

Tango, however does not follow this, making some apps and libs needlessly incompatible with Tango. It's also breaking the "specification" (if the D-language docs constitute a specification)

Fixing it would be simply adding "alias char[] string;" to a line in object.di.

Strange, I DID search for duplicates (using search-string "alias char[] string", since I suspected a commonly reported bug.

In any case, #558 isn't really a duplicate. #548 is however.
