Bug 16246 – cannot call iota with 3 [u]bytes or 3 [u]shorts

void main() { import std.range:iota; ushort start = 0, end = 10, step = 2; foreach(i; iota(start, end, step)) {} } Fails to build.

I looked at the errors: /Users/steves/.dvm/compilers/dmd-2.071.1/osx/bin/../../src/phobos/std/range/package.d(4751): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (cast(int)pastLast - 1) of type int to ushort /Users/steves/.dvm/compilers/dmd-2.071.1/osx/bin/../../src/phobos/std/range/package.d(4756): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (cast(int)pastLast + 1) of type int to ushort /Users/steves/.dvm/compilers/dmd-2.071.1/osx/bin/../../src/phobos/std/range/package.d(4773): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (cast(int)this.pastLast - cast(int)this.step) of type int to inout(ushort) We are just adding/subtracting 1 or step in each of these. Just cast to the correct type, should be sufficient. Alternatively, you can use += or -= instead. May need to `static if` this fix for only builtin types, as custom types probably already handle the operations correctly, and we don't want to mess with that.

Not fixed until the PR is merged. dlang-bot will do it automatically.
