Hi All,

  I am a newbie for D programming and need some help, I am trying 
to write a program using the example given in the book The "D 
Programming Language" written by "Andrei Alexandrescu" with few 
changes such as the example program read the input from stdin and 
prints the data to stdout, but my program reads the input from 
the file(readfile.txt) and writes the output to another 
file(writefile.txt), and I am getting the below errors while 
compiling

Error:


readwriteb.d(7): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression 
(__aggr2859.front()) of type ubyte[] to immutable(ubyte)[]
readwriteb.d(15): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression 
(receiveOnly()) of type immutable(ubyte)[] to 
std.outbuffer.OutBuffer


Version: DMD64 D Compiler v2.071.0

Code:

import std.algorithm, std.concurrency, std.stdio, std.outbuffer, 
std.file;

void main() {
    enum bufferSize = 1024 * 100;
    auto file = File("readfile.txt", "r");
    auto tid = spawn(&fileWriter);
    foreach (immutable(ubyte)[] buffer; file.byChunk(bufferSize)) {
       send(tid, buffer);
    }
}

void fileWriter() {
    auto wbuf  = new OutBuffer();
    for (;;) {
       wbuf = receiveOnly!(immutable(ubyte)[])();
       write("writefile.txt", wbuf);
    }
}

File.byChunks iirc returns a mutable ubyte[] range, not an 
immutable(ubyte)[]. The easiest way to fix this would be to 
change the foreach variable to ubyte[] and make an immutable 
duplicate of it when sending via idup.

wbuf is inferred to be an OutBuffer but then you assign an 
immutable(ubyte)[] to it in your foreach loop; a type error.

Make sure to check the errata on his site:

 Page: 406 Print: 1
 Current text:
     foreach (immutable(ubyte)[] buffer; 
 stdin.byChunk(bufferSize)) send(tid, buffer);
 Correction:
     foreach (buffer; stdin.byChunk(bufferSize)) send(tid, 
 buffer.idup)
