           Summary: struct default constructors that execute code.

        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

extern(C)  int w_init(CWrapper *p);
extern(C) void w_free(CWrapper *p);

struct CWrapper {
    this() { //not possible
       w_init(&this);
    }
    ~this() {
       w_free(&this);
    }
}

void main(){
    S s; //should call w_init()
    S s1 = S(); //should call w_init() too
}


While porting C++ code to D2 it is some times necessary to do be able to mimic C++ class/struct behavior.

Using  this(int dummy){ ... } as a workaround compiles but does not work. Other workarounds are complicated and error phone.

Converted to enhancement, because D is working as designed here (and from past discussions I have seen, this is at best a controversial change).

Ok then why any other workarounds for this problem do not work too ?

Here is one possible workaround that does not work.
struct S
{
    @disable this();
    @disable this(this);

    this(int i){ }
    static S opCall(){
        S s = S(123);
        return s;
    }
}

This would help to find places in ported C++ code that need to be changed but it does not compiles.
