The problem started with dmd 2.054. I've had no problems with this in earlier versions.

struct foo
{
  public:
    const ref int get() const { return bar[0]; }
  private:
    int bar[1];
}

void main(){
 auto a = foo();
}

==>
Error: cast(int)this.bar[0u] is not an lvalue

I believe the previous versions are accept-invalid. The leading 'const' is equivalent to the trailing 'const', which is applying the 'const' to 'this' only. Therefore, the function's type is in fact

    ref int get() const;

If you want to return a const int, apply it directly on the return type.

------------------
struct foo
{
  public:
    ref const(int) get() const { return bar[0]; }
  //    ^^^^^^^^^^
  private:
    int bar[1];
}

void main(){
 auto a = foo();
}
