Description Andrew Talbot 2009-01-18 15:42:06 UTC 
When the following program is compiled using dmd with the "safe" switch set, it produces the error message: "/usr/local/src/phobos/std/c/linux/linux.d(280): Error: cast from int to void* not allowed in safe mode"

import std.stdio;

void main() { }

This bug persists for dmd version 2.023.
Comment 1 Andrew Talbot 2009-05-12 13:32:17 UTC 
In the current version of D2 (version 2.030) the casts that cause safe mode compilation to fail when std.stdio is imported are now to be found in .../druntime/import/core/stdc/signal.d, the following error messages being produced.

/usr/local/src/druntime/import/core/stdc/signal.d(25): Error: cast from int to voidC  function(int) not allowed in safe mode
/usr/local/src/druntime/import/core/stdc/signal.d(26): Error: cast from int to voidC  function(int) not allowed in safe mode
/usr/local/src/druntime/import/core/stdc/signal.d(27): Error: cast from int to voidC  function(int) not allowed in safe mode

Fixed a while ago.
