Bug 8481 – assert can't concatenate strings

Copied from Forum: ---- import std.conv; void main() { static assert( is(typeof(("Failure: " ~ to!string(55)) == string)) ); static assert(0 , ("Failure: " ~ to!string(55))); } ---- main.d(7): Error: static assert ['F','a','i','l','u','r','e',':',' ','5','5'] ---- The problem is the ugly-ass "print as array of individual characters". Changing the code to ---- import std.conv; void main() { static assert( is(typeof(("Failure: " ~ to!string(55)) == string)) ); static assert(0 , text("Failure: ", to!string(55))); or static assert(0 , format("Failure: %s", to!string(55))); } ---- Works as intended.
