Description Ellery Newcomer 2010-05-23 21:39:25 UTC 
for D2, the spec is missing description of the following:

auto i = cast(const) 1;
auto i = cast(const shared) 1;
{etc}
auto i = cast() 1;

Love that last one.
Comment 1 Ellery Newcomer 2010-11-24 14:20:49 UTC 
surprised to find out that the last one actually does something:

const(uint) i;
const(uint[]) j;

assert(is(typeof( cast() i) == uint));
assert(is(typeof( cast() j) == const(uint)[]));

and here I was assuming it was a typo.

This is already fixed.
