Hi all,
Why can't I do the following?
--- code ---
import std.c.stdio;
import std.c.stdlib;
int main( ){
ulong[10] X, Y;
X[] = 2;
Y[] = 5;
X[] ^= Y[];
foreach( ulong u; X )
printf("%lu\n",u);
return 0;
}
--- code ---
The compiler complains:
test.d(8): slice expression X[] is not a modifiable lvalue
test.d(8): 'X[]' is not a scalar, it is a ulong[]
test.d(8): 'X[]' is not of integral type, it is a ulong[]
test.d(8): 'Y[]' is not of integral type, it is a ulong[]
What I want to do is simply this:
for( int ii=0; ii<X.length; ii++ )
X[ii] ^= Y[ii];
Am I not allowed to XOR a bunch of data like this X[] ^= Y[] ???
Thanks!
Best,
Tiago Gasiba

Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.
