This code compiles and runs with no errors with DMD 2.050, but I think this code is meaningless so it needs to be disallowed statically (items in the interval are not lvalues):


void main() {
    foreach (ref i; 0 .. 10) {
        i++;
    }
}

It is not meaningless. The following program:

import core.stdc.stdio;

void main() {
    foreach (ref i; 0 .. 10) {
        printf("i = %d\n", i);
        i++;
    }
}

works as expected:

i = 0
i = 2
i = 4
i = 6
i = 8

I don't agree much. A thread:
