I cannot reproduce this issue. It seems that the cast works properly now. closing as WORKSFORME.

No, it still doesn't work right. The example wasn't complete. Essentially, the cast shouldn't compile.

https://run.dlang.io/is/8Hihr0

Note that I would expect the call to foo to produce output, but it doesn't.

If I add in a printout of the class and interface addresses, you get identical addresses. That is, the cast didn't perform the thunk to get to the actual interface record. Which would be expected (a correct cast would have to reallocate the array).

I think the correct thing to do here is require a reinterpret cast if you really want this cast to succeed (cast to void * and back).

Huh, this really was a D1 issue. But it persists in D2, so updating the data.

I'd say it's by design. Maybe a warning will be fine.
