Has this been reported yet?  This happens with DMD 0.129 (and possibly earlier
versions as well).









The above fails the assert since the cast from _arguments[0] to TypeInfo_Array
returns null.  This only fails with variadic functions: casting from typeid()
works fine, even in templates.

Boy, I hosed that up real good.  Here's the second try:

I couldn't get typeid(char[]) to cast to TypeInfo_Array - are you sure you were able to? Note if you look at src/phobos/std/typeinfo/ti_Aa.d is says char[]'s typeinfo subclasses TypeInfo not TypeInfo_Array.

The following does work: It just seem so oddly inconsistent, especially since TypeInfo_Aa does in fact inherit from TypeInfo. - EricAnderton at yahoo

The following does work:
Interesting. I tried TypeInfo ti = typeid(char[]); assert( cast(TypeInfo_Array)ti !is null ); and it fails so it looks like typeid is "returning" void* or something. Looks like a bug.

Yikes, now that's screwed up. I wonder if the TypeInfo's TypeInfo is what's broken? - EricAnderton at yahoo
