Bug 6210 – Associative array with array key often cannot be equated.

Test case 1: ---------------------------------------- void main() { int[char[]] a; a["h"] = 1; assert(a == a.dup); // <-- asserts } ---------------------------------------- Test case 2: ---------------------------------------- void main() { int[immutable(int)[]] a, b; a[[1].idup] = 1; b[[1].idup] = 1; assert(a == b); // <-- asserts } ----------------------------------------

Hmm, the pull request fixed test case 2, but test case 1 is still failing.

Argh, this is caused by the stupidity of typeid(const(char)[]) using a different hash function from typeid(char[]) and typeid(immutable(char)[]). Will submit a pull for this.

Add builtin typeinfo for const(char)[] so that it will use the same hash function as char[] and string. https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/commit/8aa3ebf8715fc6c49bedd2c0c18b92e6ed46b045 Merge pull request #573 from quickfur/issue6210 Subsidiary fix for issue 6210.
