           Summary: Implicit conversion from Derived[] to Base[]
           Product: D
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: csantander619 gmail.com


In
http://www.digitalmars.com/webnews/newsgroups.php?art_group=digitalmars.D&article_id=47590,
Kan noted that this was again allowed:

class A {}
class B : A {}

void main()
{
        B [] b;
        A [] a = b;
}

I don't know if the docs mention it, but it seems to have been re-allowed out
of the blue.

 A dynamic array T[] can be implicitly converted to one of the following:
 
    * U[]
    * void[]

 Where U is a base class of T.

So the bug is that either:
(a) It was disallowed in 0.73 according to the changelog, but the spec itself
not updated.  The 'bug' that it didn't behave according to spec was
subsequently fixed, but Walter completely forgot about the time when the
anomaly was introduced.

(b) It was disallowed in 0.73, the spec updated, and then the reversion both in
the spec and in the compiler was inadvertently left out of the changelog.

The version, priority and severity changes just made make no sense at all.
