Bug 1486 – Can't implicitly convert char[][] to const(char)[][]

The following code fails to compile, with error "cannot implicitly convert expression (a) of type char[][] to const(char)[][]". However, it appears to be a valid operation. void main() { char[][] a; string[] b = a; }

I actually knew about this bug some time ago (2-4 months), when I updated some of my D shell scripts to D 2.0. I purposefully didn't report since I wanted to see how long it would take until someone else did. It seemed such a common problem (I have very little D code written, yet I stumbled upon it quickly), that I'm somewhat surprised it took this long for someone to report it. Isn't there that many people using D2.0 features or what?

This works in the latest versions. Please confirm and close the bug. Other related cases still remain buggy though, see #2056.

It's definitely fixed.
