Is the following snippet a bug?

---
import core.thread;
import std.stdio, std.concurrency;

void foo(Tid tid) {
     send(tid, true);
}

void main() {
     auto fooTid = spawn(&foo, thisTid);
     auto receiveInt = receiveTimeout(dur!"seconds"(10), (int 
isInt) {
         writeln("I should not be here");
     });
}
// output: "I should not be here"

If not, is there some way I could achieve 
"receiveOnlyTimeout!(int)(dur, fun);" ?

Thanks,

I can't see the bug? The receiver accepts a bool as an int, same 
way a normal function does. The timeout is long enough that foo 
gets a chance to send.  If you want to stop the int receiver 
getting a bool, you could add another receiver with (bool) { // 
do nothing } or whatever before the (int) one, which will be a 
better match for the send.

I am not sure whether it is supposed to be, but the function must be a 
module-level function; so define it outside of main.

When I did that, there was segmentation fault if I used thread priority.

Workaround:

1) Take function out of main

2) Do not specify thread priority

Created bug report:

spawn() shouldn't allow you to spawn a delegate.  Last I checked (which =
was admittedly a while ago), there were some compiler issues around =
actually verifying the function signature sent to spawn() though.=

Why is foo a delegate here?

My mistake.  I misread the example.=

I got myself into a situation where I dont know which will be 
called first, the int or the bool and "when" the call happens 
matters.

It was my assumption that "receiveTimeout(dur, (type){}); would 
distinguish between a bool and an int like it does for float and 
int.  But I can see why it would treat true/false as 0/1, so not 
a bug.

Anyway my current workaround is to define a few "Signal" structs 
and use those instead:
struct SignalReady { blah }
struct SignalXDone { blah }
struct SignalYDone { blah }

Thanks for the reply.
