           Summary: Conditional triple operator unifies a char and a dchar
                    as a unit
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: wrong-code
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: bearophile_hugs eml.cc



void main() {
    dchar c;
    pragma(msg, typeof(true ? c : ' '));
}



DMD 2.064alpha prints:
uint

Expected:
dchar


That bad type unification causes situations like:

import std.stdio: writeln;
import std.algorithm: map;
void main() {
    "just 1256 some text"
    .map!(c => true ? c : ' ')
    .writeln;
}


That prints:

[106, 117, 115, 116, 32, 49, 50, 53, 54, 32, 115, 111, 109, 101, 32, 116, 101,
120, 116]

If you have
char c;
dchar d;
I agree that (true ? d : ' ')  should be a dchar, but only because ' ' can be
implicitly converted to dchar by applying value range propagation.

But (true ? d : c) should not. It's reasonable for it to be a uint. Because c
might be a UTF8 code point, not a character, so casting it to a dchar would be
incorrect.
