So one of the things I really wanted to do is Unicode IO (namely
Japanese) from the console. I tried using this and quickly realized that
no considerations were taken. The modified version next(T)() now looks
like this:
auto next(T)()
{
import std.traits;
import std.conv;
import std.string;
import std.range;
if(buffer.length == 0)
buffer = stdin.readln;
static if (isSomeString!T) { // [1]
scope (exit) buffer = null;
return buffer.strip.to!T;
}
static if (isSomeChar!T) {
scope (exit) { buffer.popFront; buffer = buffer.strip; }
return stride(buffer, 1).array[0].to!T;
}
else {
scope (exit) buffer = buffer.strip;
return parse!T(buffer); // [2] Line 64
}
}
This function now works for all types except dstring. This remains a
problem I cannot figure out. The error code is as follows:
$ rdmd -unittest textnext
/usr/share/dmd/src/phobos/std/conv.d(3293): Error: cannot modify
immutable expression c
/usr/share/dmd/src/phobos/std/conv.d(3297): Error: cannot modify

/usr/share/dmd/src/phobos/std/conv.d(2904): Error: template instance

textnext.d(12): Error: template instance io.next!(immutable(dchar)[])
error instantiating
Failed: ["dmd", "-unittest", "-v", "-o-", "textnext.d", "-I."]
This error is report failure on dstring at [2] but I fully expected them
at [1].
I've looked at implementation of isSomeString()
(https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/blob/master/std/traits.d#L5178)
and clearly dstrings are addressed in the implementation there. What
exactly am I missing in my understanding?
Any assistance/advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew
