Something like

class Foo(T)
{
    void bar(auto ref T item)
    {
    }
}

doesn't work.

class Foo(T)
{
    void bar(auto ref T item)
    {
    }
}

void main()
{
    Foo!(int) f;
}

gives

test.d(3): Error: auto can only be used for template function parameters

Hmm ok, maybe it rather is an enhancement.

the more general code:

template bar(T)
{
    void bar(auto ref T item)
    {
    }
}

void main()
{
    bar!(int) f;
}

also doesn't work.


Even the following doesn't compile:
void bar(T)(auto ref T item)
{
}

void main()
{
    int i;
    bar!(int)(i); // while bar(i); is OK
}
test.d(1): Error: auto can only be used for template function parameters
test.d(8): Error: template instance test.bar!(int) error instantiating

What semantics do you wish auto to have for parameters? i.e. why are you using it?
