Modified from an example by Comrad in D.learn.


struct A {
    double x;
}
@property ref double y(ref A a) {
    return a.x;
}
void main() {
    A a1;
    a1.y() = 2.0; // OK
    a1.y = 2.0; // Error
}


DMD 2.059head gives:

test.d(10): Error: no property 'y' for type 'A', did you mean 'x'?

Maybe you have gone a bit too much far with your fix, Kenji Hara.

In my example code here I used @property:

@property ref double y(ref A a) {

But your patch allows that syntax even without @property.

Your patch allows _very_ nice and noise-free code like:

[1, 2, -3, 4].filter!(x => x > 0).map!(x => x ^^ 0.2).writeln;

But I think it undermines the meaning and usefulness of the -property compiler switch and the meaning of @property.

So I suggest to think a bit more about this, to keep the nice things, and to not throw away two baby waters.
