           Summary: BufferedFile.printf() wants char[] as first argument
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: rejects-valid
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Phobos
        AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: bearophile_hugs eml.cc



Using dmd 2.048 on this code:


import std.stream: BufferedFile, FileMode;
void main() {
    auto f = new BufferedFile("testfile.t", FileMode.Out);
    f.printf("%d\n", 10);
    f.close();
}


It shows the errors:
test.d(4): Error: function std.stream.Stream.printf (char[] format,...) is not
callable using argument types (string,int)
test.d(4): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression ("%d\x0a") of type
string to char[]


This gives no errors:
f.printf(cast(char[])"%d\n", 10);

Casting a string literal to a char[] is esentially undefined behavior. If you
need a char[] out of a string literal, use .dup:

import std.stream: BufferedFile, FileMode;

void main() 
{
    auto f = new BufferedFile("testfile.t", FileMode.Out);

    f.printf("%d\n".dup, 10);
    f.close();
}

I'm guessing printf takes a char[] due to it's C heritage? So far I've seen a
lot of D1 code that uses char[] and when porting it to D2 one needs to either
change all declarations/arguments to use a string, or at the very least use
.dup when passing string literals to functions taking char[].

     f.close();
 }
