Bug 11262 – std.regex.replace does not accept StaticRegex

When using a ctRegex for replace, the compiler is unable to locate a proper overload. This worked in 2.63. import std.regex; void main() { enum reg = ctRegex!(r",", "g"); auto str = "This,List"; str = str.replace(reg, "-"); } -------------- C:\opt\dmd\windows\bin\..\..\src\phobos\std\regex.d(6107): Error: template std.regex.repla ceMatchesInto does not match any function template declaration. Candidates are: C:\opt\dmd\windows\bin\..\..\src\phobos\std\regex.d(6067): std.regex.replaceMatches Into(alias output, Sink, R, T)(ref Sink sink, R input, T matches) if (isOutputRange!(Sink, dchar) && isSomeString!R && is(T == RegexMatch!R)) C:\opt\dmd\windows\bin\..\..\src\phobos\std\regex.d(6107): Error: template std.regex.repla ceMatchesInto(alias output, Sink, R, T)(ref Sink sink, R input, T matches) if (isOutputRan ge!(Sink, dchar) && isSomeString!R && is(T == RegexMatch!R)) cannot deduce template functi on from argument types !(__lambda4)(Appender!string, string, RegexMatch!(string, Backtrack ingMatcher)) C:\opt\dmd\windows\bin\..\..\src\phobos\std\regex.d(6099): Error: function std.regex.repla ce!(match, string, char, StaticRegex!char).replace.replaceAllWith!((m, sink) => replaceFmt (format, m, sink), match, string, StaticRegex!char).replaceAllWith no return exp; or asser t(0); at end of function C:\opt\dmd\windows\bin\..\..\src\phobos\std\regex.d(6393): Error: template instance std.re gex.replace!(match, string, char, StaticRegex!char).replace.replaceAllWith!((m, sink) => r eplaceFmt(format, m, sink), match, string, StaticRegex!char) error instantiating .\regct.d(6): instantiated from here: replace!(match, string, char, StaticRegex!cha r) .\regct.d(6): Error: template instance std.regex.replace!(match, string, char, StaticRegex !char) error instantiating
