Bug 17801 – Date.fromISOExtString broken in 2.076 because of changed type specifier

After upgrading to DMD 2.076 the following code was broken, because of changed type specifier: import std.stdio; import std.datetime; DateTime DateTimeFromPGTimestamp( const(char)[] dateString ) { auto temp = dateString[0..10] ~ "T" ~ dateString[11..19]; return DateTime.fromISOExtString(temp); } void main() { auto result = DateTimeFromPGTimestamp("No matter what is there!"); } Compilation output: /opt/compilers/dmd2/include/std/datetime/date.d(3197): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression `strip(isoExtString)` of type `const(char)[]` to `immutable(string)` /d578/f601.d(7): Error: template instance std.datetime.date.DateTime.fromISOExtString!(char[]) error instantiating Link to compile online: https://dpaste.dzfl.pl/06c270576110

The from*String functions in std.datetime did not have tests to make sure that they worked with various character types or various levels of constness, and some optimizations that were done to the from*String functions on DateTime for 2.076 broke them for const strings. So, this adds tests for all character types and levels of constness to each of the from*String function in std.datetime, and fixes the functionality for DateTime that then doesn't pass the tests. https://github.com/dlang/phobos/commit/67e66d2d4468aa3884b36dccc6d195792cab5790 Merge pull request #5721 from jmdavis/issue_17801 Fix issue 17801: DateTime.fromISOExtString no longer works with const strings. merged-on-behalf-of: Petar Kirov <[email protected]>
