Description bearophile_hugs 2010-09-26 10:36:03 UTC 
struct Foo(int N) {
    int[N] bar;
}
void main() {
    auto r = Foo!(1)([1, 2]);
}


DMD 2.049 shows:
test.d(5): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression ([1,2]) of type int[] to int

But I think there are no int types here, just an int array of the wrong length.

dmd 2.069 shows the error as
Error: cannot implicitly convert expression ([1, 2]) of type int[] to int[1]

Would you call this fixed?
