Description Matti Niemenmaa 2006年12月02日 13:59:44 UTC

void main() {
	real[] array;
	array ~= "string";
}
The error message emitted from the above code is somewhat misleading: "[c]an only append to dynamic arrays, not real[] ~= char[6]". real[] _is_ a dynamic array, just of the wrong type.

Fixed DMD 1.018 and DMD 2.002
