digitalmars.D - Ranges in std.range vs foreach ranges

reply Jonathan M Davis <jmdavisProg gmail.com> writes:
The set of properties defined for foreach ranges in the online docs ( 
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/statement.html ) does not match those of 
the ranges in std.range.

According to the online docs, foreach requires ranges to have

empty
next
retreat
head
toe

while the corresponding properties in std.range would be

empty
popFront
popBack
front
back


Is this because one or the other is not up-to-date? I would assume that we'd 
want the two to match up.

With D2, the implementation is the real specification. :) The online docs aren't always up-to-date. -Lars

To be more precise, I think the official distribution of the dmd binary is the specification, the sources might not behave in the same way and may lack the release tags in the vcs :o) To be sure, I recommend using objdump.
