Description bearophile_hugs 2011-06-21 10:56:03 UTC 
DMD 2.053:

import std.string;
void main() {
    const string s = "foo5x";
    auto s2 = removechars(s, "^A-Z");
}


test.d(4): Error: template std.string.removechars(S) if (isSomeString!(S)) does not match any function template declaration
test.d(4): Error: template std.string.removechars(S) if (isSomeString!(S)) cannot deduce template function from argument types !()(const(immutable(char)[]),string)


(Additionally, removechars is not pure nothrow.)

Compiles and runs fine on 2.059 Win32
Comment 2 bearophile_hugs 2012-04-24 19:15:02 UTC 
import std.string, std.stdio;
void main() nothrow {
    const string s = "foAo5x";
    auto s2 = removechars(s, "^A-Z");
}


With dmd 2.060alpha it gives:
test.d(4): Error: removechars is not nothrow
test.d(2): Error: function D main 'main' is nothrow yet may throw


So removechars is not nothrow, but the main problem is fixed, so I close this issue.
