https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24587 Issue ID: 24587 Summary: Allow negated qualifiers in cast expressions Product: D Version: D2 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P1 Component: dmd Assignee: nobody puremagic.com Reporter: qs.il.paperinik gmail.com Allow a `!` in a cast expression to remove specific qualifiers from a type. Unlike `cast()`, notably `cast(!shared)` removes `shared` only and leaves `inout` and/or `const` intact if they’re present. More than one can be used and `!` negates all of them: `cast(!const shared)` removes `const` and `shared`, but leaves `inout` intact. Grammar: ```diff CastQual: cast ( TypeCtors? ) UnaryExpression + cast ( ! TypeCtors ) UnaryExpression ``` Note that the `TypeCtors` in the second rule one aren’t optional. --
