Bug 22881 – ICE Index of array outside of bounds at CTFE

This appears to have been introduced in 2.080.0/2.080.1. Code: static bar = "hello".ptr[0 .. 6]; Output: Error: unknown, please file report on issues.dlang.org

Looks like the function `resolveSlice` from `ctfeexpr.d` is called on `"hello".ptr[0 .. 6];` and returns a `CantExpression` without printing an error, so it ends up printing the generic error.

Probably caused by https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/8259

(In reply to Richard Cattermole from comment #0) > This appears to have been introduced in 2.080.0/2.080.1. Before 2.080.0, the error was: string slice `[0 .. 6]` is out of bounds. Since then it was accepted as the null terminator was considered implicitly there. I think you meant that the internal error first appeared between [email protected] and [email protected]. [email protected] compiles this just fine.

(In reply to Dennis from comment #2) > Probably caused by https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/8259 Unfortunately, we'd have to do a special kind of bisect to be sure. https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/9425

Another likely candidate. https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/8261
