Bug 4985 – A missing length problem in typecons.Tuple

A (hopefully correct) reduced test case from page 30 of: http://nwcpp.org/images/stories/nwcpp-2010-09.pdf import std.concurrency: spawn, send; void foo() {} void main() { foreach (b; [cast(immutable(ubyte)[])[1]]) send(spawn(&foo), b); } DMD 2.049 shows: ...\dmd\src\phobos\std\typecons.d(336): Error: no property 'length' for type 'immutable(char)' This is the part of typecons.Tuple that gives the error: static string injectNamedFields() { string decl = ""; foreach (i, name; staticMap!(extractName, fieldSpecs)) { auto field = text("Identity!(field[", i, "])"); auto numbered = text("_", i); decl ~= text("alias ", field, " ", numbered, ";"); if (name.length != 0) // line 336 { decl ~= text("alias ", numbered, " ", name, ";"); } } return decl; }

Maybe you updated only your std.typecons to the svn trunk and not std.typetuple? I can't reproduce the reported error unless I roll std.typetuple back. Please try updating your std.typetuple.

Please try updating your std.typetuple. I don't know what happened, but I have updated std.typetuple and std.typecons, and the problem has gone. So I close this bug report. Thank you Shin Fujishiro.
