2.060 and git head: import std.string; import std.stdio; void main() { writefln("Set!%s(%(%s, %))", "int", [1, 2]); // Set!int(1, 2) string s = format("Set!%s(%(%s, %))", "int", [1, 2]); // format error }

xformat works ok though.

std.string.xformat is the function that's compatible with std.format. We really should deprecate std.string.format or something, and replace it with xformat. The current std.string.format sucks and every now and then causes newbie confusion when the same format string works in writeln but not in std.string.format (or it works differently).

The pull has been merged; I just tested the code and it's working now. Should this bug be closed?

OK. Closed.
