Bug 6834 – std.stdio conflicts with core.stdc.stdio

import std.stdio; import std.c.stdio; void foo() { File f = stdin; int c = getc(f.getFP()); } ~/dmd2/linux/bin64/dmd stdiobug.d stdiobug.d(5): Error: std.stdio.stdin at /home/jlquinn/dmd2/linux/bin64/../../src/phobos/std/stdio.d(2191) conflicts with core.stdc.stdio.stdin at /home/jlquinn/dmd2/linux/bin64/../../src/druntime/import/core/stdc/stdio.di(262) My thought is that the names for stdin should be different. Otherwise it makes it harder to use both stdio and c library features together.

You could just use std.stdio.stdin and std.c.stdio.stdin to disambiguate. Or use aliases to map them to shorter names.

This unfortunately catches rdmd also... D:\devel\temp>rdmd --loop="writeln(line)" Notice: As of Phobos 2.058, std.ctype has been deprecated. It will be removed in July 2012. Please use std.ascii instead. Notice: As of Phobos 2.055, std.regexp has been deprecated. It will be removed in February 2012. Please use std.regex instead .

This works. import std.stdio; import std.c.stdio; void foo() { File f = std.stdio.stdin; int c = std.c.stdio.getc(f.getFP()); } as well as that: import std.stdio:stdin, File; import std.c.stdio:getc; void foo() { File f = stdin; int c = getc(f.getFP()); } So this is not a bug, it's a case of not understanding the use of packages. I think it should be closed.

Can't wait for the new std.io to get into phobos, then all of this will be a non-issue.

This is not a bug.
