I'm stumped. Can anyone tell me why this won't compule using DMD (v2.060)? It compiles and runs just fine using GDC:

import std.stdio;
import std.concurrency;

shared class Data
{
public:
  this(int count)
  {
    m_count = count;
  }

  int count() const
  {
    return m_count;
  }

private:
  int m_count = void;
}

int main()
{
  Tid tid = spawn(&threadFunc, thisTid);
  while (true)
  {
    auto data = receiveOnly!(Data);
    writefln("Count is %s.", data.count);

    if (data.count == 0)
      break;
  }

  return 0;
}

void threadFunc(Tid owner)
{
  for (int count = 10; count >= 0; --count)
  {
    auto data = new Data(count);
    send(owner, data);
  }
}


The errors I get from DMD are:

test.d(27): Error: function test.Data.count () shared const is not callable using argument types ()
test.d(29): Error: function test.Data.count () shared const is not callable using argument types ()
/usr/include/dmd/phobos/std/concurrency.d(467): Error: static assert  "Aliases to mutable thread-local data not allowed."
test.d(41):        instantiated from here: send!(Data)

The problems all have to do with one thing - shared class Data does
not mean every instance of the class is shared, only that all member
functions are.

Hence,

>      auto data = receiveOnly!(Data);

should be

auto data = receiveOnly!(shared Data);

and

>      auto data = new Data(count);

should be

auto data = cast(shared)new Data(count);

Or
auto data = new shared(Data)(count);

Excellent, thanks. I assumed that since the class was marked as shared then any instance of it would be as well.

I thought I'd tried that. Maybe it was

auto data = new shared Data(count);

Someone else may be better able to explain this but "most" D lex token
enclose until the end of the line unless de-marked with a pair of  ().
So I think 'new shared Data(count);' becomes 'new
shared(Data(count));'.
