           Summary: typeof tests stops compilation abruptly
           Product: D
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla at digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: andrei at metalanguage.com


bool endsWith(A1, A2)(A1 longer, A2 shorter)
{
    static if (is(typeof(longer[0 .. 0] == shorter)))
    {
    }
    else
    {
    }
    return false;
}

void main()
{
    char[] a;
    byte[] b;
    endsWith(a, b);
}

Attempting to compile yields:

Error: array equality comparison type mismatch, char[] vs byte[]

There is no line number, which makes the bug particularly jarring (IMHO: if a
compilation error comes with no line number that can be used in tracking the
error, that bug should be automatically considered major.)
