Otherwise you’re missing the extent length. (Remember: generics only take in types; we don’t do value-based generic parameters like C++ does (yet).) We could put in a rule that a array-segment reference that is initialized with an array expression can be freely converted/considered to be an immediate array of the same type and now-explicit length.</div><div class="AppleOriginalContents" style="direction: ltr;"><br></div><div class="AppleOriginalContents" style="direction: ltr;"><div id="AppleMailSignature"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div>— </div><div>Daryle Walker<br>Mac, Internet, and Video Game Junkie<br>darylew AT mac DOT com </div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
