Of course:

	import core.stdc.stdlib : malloc, free;

	auto ptr = cast(char[]) malloc(42);
}

 I guess it should be:

 auto ptr = cast(char*)malloc(42)[0 .. 42];

or this if you want ptr to be char[] and not a pointer to char:

auto ptr = (cast(char*)malloc(42))[0 .. 42];
or
auto ptr = cast(char[])malloc(42)[0 .. 42];

 I guess it should be:

That would work, but I did it on purpose. I wanted to test 
whether such dangerous code compiles or whether the compiler is 
smart enough and hits the alarm.

I see.

for eg.:

void main() {
    import core.stdc.stdlib : malloc, free;
    static struct arr
    {
        size_t length;
        void* ptr;
    }
    auto ptr = cast(arr) malloc(42);
}

prints:

test2.d(9): Error: cannot cast expression malloc(42LU) of type void* to arr

which makes sense, even e2ir text is not here.

I would say this is not an ICE just normal error message.

anything including "e2ir" is definitely an ICE, i believe. it should be=20
