Issue ID: 21437
Summary: const(char*) variable matches both const(char)[] and
const(char)*
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Keywords: rejects-valid
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: dmd
Assignee: nobody at puremagic.com

```
void fun(const(char)[] a) {}
void fun(const(char)* a) {}
const(char*) a = "a";
void main() {
fun(a);
}
```
Without the literal to initialize it, it chooses fun(const(char)*) as expected.
With it, the compiler thinks both match and cannot choose. It should always
choose fun(const(char)*).
