Summary: dmd should warn if `printf` is used on D strings
Product: D
Version: D2
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: DMD
AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com
ReportedBy: jonas lophus.org
string foo = "john";
printf("hello %s\n", foo);
doesn't work because `printf` expects a zero-terminated string.
The compiler should really yield a warning here.

In D string literals are zero-terminated. So this run correctly:
import core.stdc.stdio;
void main() {
string foo = "john";
printf("hello %s\n", foo.ptr);
}

http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=7872 Yeah but I guess it's a common mistake for someone coming from C/C++ so there should be some guidance anyway. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------

If documentation
(http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?action=browse&id=DanielKeep/TextInD&oldid=StringsInD)
is not mistaken string literals are zero-terminated in DMD, thus it is
compiler-specific feature.

DMD should warn if printf is used full stop. :)
