Bug 2718 – Inconsistent string parameters in Phobos functions

Some trivial inconsistencies in Phobos functions. Some of them are quite annoying. std.utf: string toUTF8(string s); -> string toUTF8(const(char)[] s); std.string: const(char)* toStringz(const(char)[] s); -> immutable(char)* toStringz(const(char)[] s); (Returning a const is always suspicious). std.stream: void write(char[] s); -> void write(const(char)[] s); size_t printf(char[] format,...); -> size_t printf(const(char)[] format,...); std.encoding: abstract const string toString(); -> abstract string toString();
