Generally, any time you see "assertion failure", it means that the compiler is confused. It probably means a bug. Can you post the code that caused the error (or, better yet, a tiny little source file that does nothing but show the error)? Mike Wynn wrote:I've just had ...

"Mike Wynn" <mike.wynn l8night.co.uk> I've no idea where the error occured, the posted error message was all the D compiler told me! (kind of hopeing someone had seen this assert before). posting source ... not really its within 648K of D source (full port to D of win32 API headers winuser, winbase, commctrl) the problem occured once I wrote wrapper class to win32 TreeView and might be in there or inside my port of commcrtl.h (I do have my suspisions where it lies .... ) I guess I'll have to start commenting code out until it builds.

Found the cause ....
its related to aliasing member functions ...
struct foo { }
alias foo * HMYFOO;
const HMYFOO FOO_ROOT = ((HMYFOO)0xFFFF0000);
class fooTree
{
HMYFOO getMyFooA( char[] str, HMYFOO item ) { return item; }
HMYFOO getMyFooW( wchar[] str, HMYFOO item ){ return item; }
version( UNICODE ) {
alias getMyFooW getMyFoo;
} else {
alias getMyFooA getMyFoo;
}
// direct call OK
// HMYFOO getMyFoo( char[] str, HMYFOO item ) { return item; }
}
void doStuffWith( fooTree tree )
{
HMYFOO fooHandle;
fooHandle = tree.getMyFoo( "bar", FOO_ROOT );
}
void
main()
{
fooTree tree = new fooTree();
doStuffWith( tree );
}
