can not decl shared Buffer!() bufchar ?

[mw66]

$ cat cb.d

#!/usr/bin/env dub
/+ dub.sdl:
name "app"
dependency "elembuf" version="~>1.1.1"
+/

import buffer;

void main() {
        shared Buffer!() bufchar = Buffer!()();
        assert(bufchar == "");
}

compile error:

$ dub.exe cb.d

Heya!

There is no implicit conversion from mutable to shared, you will have to explicitly cast it. I assume that with arrays, they are made constant, then immutable and finally shared to be able to be implicit. I've been testing methods of implementing implicit conversion, but have yet to find any success.

Here is an example on how to make the buffer shared. I'll be adding some docs later on as well.

ok, cast works.
