https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16690 Issue ID: 16690 Summary: New debug experience: "Children could not be evaluated" popup with zero length slices (ie, null ptr) Product: D Version: D2 Hardware: x86_64 OS: Windows Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P1 Component: visuald Assignee: nobody puremagic.com Reporter: turkeyman gmail.com null slices show "Children could not be evaluated" when hovering. It would be nice if the normal expansion worked, but it was empty instead (no children listed). The error message leads you to think something is wrong; bad pointer or something. (yes, null *is* a bad pointer, but if length == 0, any pointer should be accepted without producing the error) Same story for null strings obviously. --
