gives me

Internal error: ../ztc/cod4.c 352

When you comment out
// foo[i] = bar[i]

It'll compile without errors. It gives me the same error, when casting to
void.

Now is this valid D? Or should I use ubyte[] or byte[] instead of void[]?

Greetings,

Lukas

I'm not sure if it's valid to set or get the value of a void, but it 
certainly shouldn't crash the compiler.

You're probably better off using byte[] or ubyte[] instead, because 
honestly, what IS a void?  ;)

Well, ask yourself, are you copying bytes or copying voids (whatever they
are)?
