a safe, nogc-compatible templated array type, originally for strings.

fixedstring's Issues

wchar / dchar equality

currently, a fixedstring of "aéiou" does not equal a string of "aéiou".

Some bugs / inconsistencies

Bugs:

1. Missings bounds checking in

• this(in char[])
• opIndexAssign (might extend length past maxSize

2. opIndex discards length by returning char[maxSize] (should probably return a slice)
3. concat doesn't check if s is big enough

Enhancements:

1. slice assignments instead of plain loops
2. forward fixedstring methods to the slice ones instead of copying the implementation? (depends on 2.)

(Meta issue because I'm lazy)

Feature Request: FixedString from literal with automatic length

Currently, to create a FixedString from a string literal, we have to pass the length explicitly:

enum literal = "hello";
FixedString!(literal.length) s = literal;

It would be convenient if there was a helper template that calculated the length automatically, so that we could instead write code like this:

auto s = fixedString!"hello";
