           Summary: assumeUTF attributes change between debug and release
                    mode
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement

          Reporter: lodovico at giaretart.net

assumeUTF is @nogc in release mode, but not in debug mode.

The reason is that in debug mode it performs additional checks, which is not
bad per se, but makes working with assumeUTF too difficult (e.g. I cannot use
@nogc unittests).

In general, this change of meaning between debug and release mode should be
avoided.
