I have these two minimal programs:<br><br><br>import std.string;<br>void main()<br>{<br> string str = "abc";<br> int i = str.count("ab");<br> <br>}<br><br><br><br>and:<br><br><br><br>import std.string;<br>
import std.algorithm;<br>void main()<br>{<br> string str = "abc";<br> int i = str.count("ab");<br> <br>}<br><br><br><br>The only difference is line 2, where I import std.algorithm. <br>The first program compiles fine, but the second program does not compile, spitting out the error message:<br>
<br>bash-3.2$ dmd -ofdummy dummy.d<br>/u/sah2659/dmd2/linux/bin/../../src/phobos/std/functional.d(176): Error: static assert "Bad binary function q{a == b}. You need to use a valid D expression using symbols a of type dchar and b of type string."<br>
