Bug 5333 – simple use of filter (from online doc) does not compile

Created attachment 843 filter (taken from on-line doc example) fails to compile Platforms: Linux64 (Ubuntu 10.04), Vista(32) dmd version: 2.050 The following code (as filtertest.d [attached]) will not compile: // ------------------------------------- import std.stdio; import std.algorithm; void main() { int[] arr = [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ]; // Sum all elements auto small = filter!("a < 3")(arr); assert(small == [ 1, 2 ]); } //-------------------------------------- d$ dmd filtertest filtertest.d(8): Error: incompatible types for ((small) == ([1,2])): 'Filter!(result,int[])' and 'int[]' Note that the code section is cut&paste from <http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/phobos/std_algorithm.html#filter> Similar code using delegate also doesn't work. I'd attach, but bug tracker only allows one file attachment(?).

This appears to have been fixed in Git but not marked as such.
