digitalmars.D.learn - Ranges and Library and toir.c internal error

There may be a better way to solve this but I'm trying to learn 
Phobos and parameter typing and anonymous function, etc.  So this 
is probably more of an academic question but I've got the 
following code:

int countBetween(T)(T[] x, T low, T high)
{
    auto k = count!( (x){return ((x >= low) && (x <= high));} ) 
(x);
    return k;
}

int[] a = [ 9, 77, 1, 13, 76, 17, 4, 27, 99, 5 ];

auto m = countBetween!(int)(a, 1, 25);      // works!


char[] b = ['h', 'e', 'l', 'o', ' ', 'W', 'o', 'r', 'l', 'd'];
	
auto n = countBetween!(char)(b, 'c', 'k');  // fails



The integer call compiles and runs correctly.

The char call doesn't compile and I get a toir.c internal error.


The library definition says count is
size_t count(alias pred = "true", Range)(Range r);


I'm still trying to get my head around Ranges. Is a int array a 
valid range but a character array not?

Any enlightenment is welcome.

Such internal errors are compiler bugs that should be added to Bugzilla. But I have compiled the following program with the latest DMD GIT-head 32 bit Windows, and I see no compiler bugs: import std.algorithm: count; int countBetween(T)(T[] x, T low, T high) { return x.count!(x => x >= low && x <= high)(); } void main() { int[] a = [9, 77, 1, 13, 76, 17, 4, 27, 99, 5]; auto m = countBetween(a, 1, 25); char[] b = ['h', 'e', 'l', 'o', ' ', 'W', 'o', 'r', 'l', 'd']; auto n = countBetween(b, 'c', 'k'); } Bye, bearophile

On a recent dmd build from github, I don't get any ICE, so it may have been fixed. I do get some disconcerting type deduction failures, though...

All arrays are valid ranges, but char[], wchar[], and const variations thereof are special. They are treated as ranges of dchar so that you are guaranteed to get complete unicode characters out of them. your code, modified: import std.traits; size_t countBetween(Range)(Range arr, ElementType!Range low, ElementType!Range high) { return count!( (x){return ((x >= low) && (x <= high)); })(arr); } ought to handle both int[] and char[] properly.
