Bug 765 – ArrayBoundsError when assigning slice of pointer

void main() { uint* where = (new uint[](5)).ptr; // either of these lines will throw an ArrayBoundsError // without even accessing an array variable :( (just a pointer) where[0 .. 5] = 1; where[0 .. 0] = 0; // not even actually accessing anything! } ----- Error: ArrayBoundsError test.d(6) This did not happen in DMD 0.173 The only reason I can think of for bounds checks to even be made on pointer slices are: * check (upper >= lower) * check (upper * T.sizeof <= 2**32) (on 32-bit machine) to make sure stuff fits into memory... Both of these conditions are definitely satisfied here, so I don't see any legitimate reason for this to happen...
