           Summary: Error in doc on implicit conversion between pointer and
                    array
           Product: D
           Version: 1.007
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla at digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: henrik at harmsen.se


In the documentation on arrays, under "usage" is mentioned this sequence:

int* p;
int[3] s;
p = s;          // p points to the first element of the array s.

However, this causes the following message from the compiler:
"cannot implicitly convert expression (s) of type int[3] to int*."

It seems the documentation needs to be updated. I only stumbled on one of the
cases (the above) but there might be more cases that need revisit.
