Bug 22055 – [The D Bug Tracker] Casting slices in CTFE yields the wrong result

unittest { int[] runtimeInts = [1,2]; enum int[] compiletimeInts = [1,2]; pragma(msg, "pragma(msg): ", cast(ubyte[])compiletimeInts); writefln("CT: %s", cast(ubyte[])compiletimeInts); writefln("RT: %s", cast(ubyte[])runtimeInts); } Outputs: pragma(msg): [cast(ubyte)1u, cast(ubyte)2u] CT: [1, 2] RT: [1, 0, 0, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0] This is a problematic semantic discrepancy between compile-time and runtime, and even between 2 runtime values if they're casts of compile-time vs. runtime values. I suppose the runtime value is the correct one.
