Hi,
Ok basically I have a big static array, into which I want 4 static slices.
I thought this would work...
static char[6] a = "abcdef";
static char[3] p = a[0..3];
static char[3] q = a[3..6];
but, the slices are char[] and you cannot assign a char[] to a char[3]
(even if they are the same length). So I tried...
static char[6] a = "abcdef";
static char[3] p = cast(char[3])a[0..3];
static char[3] q = cast(char[3])a[3..6];
and now it does not like it because cast(char[3])a[0..3] is a non constant
expression.
So, is there any way to define a bunch of static slices into a static
array?
I did get this to compile...
static char[6] a = "abcdef";
char[3] p;
char[3] q;
static this() {
p[] = a[0..3];
q[] = a[3..6];
}
int main(char[][] args) {
return 0;
}
but, I am not 100% certain I know what it's doing exactly? is it copying?
or just taking a static slice...
Regan.

Same error. Are you trying these? I have tried a number of things, just like these you are suggesting... Regan -- Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/

Hey, that one worked for me! Look, see - here's my source code:int main(char[][] args) { static char[6] a = "abcdef"; char[] p = a[0..3]; char[] q = a[3..6]; return 0; }
It compiles for me. I'm using the latest compiler, too. Jill

My appologies, I need the static array to me at module level, my code reads: static char[6] a = "abcdef"; char[] p = a[0..3]; char[] q = a[3..6]; int main(char[][] args) { return 0; } Regan -- Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/

I think you should report it to D.bugs.

It is definately not copying, it's only taking a slice into a static storage. You can use .dup on a slice to make a real copy. BTW, why do you use static at a module level? It doesn't work the same as in C. I think it simply gets ignored at the module level. In D you use keyword "private" for that. Refer to doc section on attributes for details. -eye

That is my problem.. I am actually trying to define an array whose contents cannot be modified.I think it simply gets ignored at the module level. In D you use keyword "private" for that. Refer to doc section on attributes for details.
Thanks, but I'm not trying to 'hide' the array, just make it const. Regan-eye

Already tried the const storage modifier on the original array? According to my understanding of specification, it should place it into constant storage, and the application should segfault or assert whenever trying to write into it. -eye

Yes.According to my understanding of specification, it should place it into constant storage, and the application should segfault or assert whenever trying to write into it.
It does not. I believe this.. const int[3] aa = [ 1,2,3 ]; defines a constant array reference to non constant data. Meaning you can modify the data, but you cannot go.. int[] bb = [ 1,2,3,4,5 ]; aa = bb; Regan. -- Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/
