Program:
import std.stdio;

struct Bar {
    string m = "<not set>";

    this( string s ) { writeln( "Constructor - ", m = s ); }
    this( this )     { writeln( "Postblit    - ", m ); }
    ~this()          { writeln( "Destructor  - ", m ); }
    Bar bar()        { return Bar( "bar" ); }
}

Bar foo() { return Bar( "foo" ); }

void main() {
    foo().bar();
}

Output:
Constructor - foo
Constructor - bar
Destructor  - foo

The object returned by bar() is not destroyed (leading to a memory leak in my
GSoC project). Calling bar() directly, rather than on the result returned by
foo() works properly. Saving the result of bar() in a named variable doesn't
fix  the problem (it creates three objects and destroys only two).

Thanks for the fix Kenji. However, this still doesn't work if bar() is a
template function, i.e:

struct Bar {
    string m = "<not set>";

    this( string s ) { writeln( "Constructor - ", m = s ); }
    this( this )     { writeln( "Postblit    - ", m ); }
    ~this()          { writeln( "Destructor  - ", m ); }

    // NOTE: bar is a template, otherwise it works
    Bar bar()()      { return Bar( "bar" ); }
}

Bar foo() { return Bar( "foo" ); }

void main() {
    foo().bar();
}

Outputs:
Constructor - foo
Constructor - bar
Destructor  - bar

Interestingly, this time it's the one returned by foo() that doesn't get
destroyed, rather than the one returned by bar().

Thanks a lot for the fix, this stops the memory leak I had in my project. Hope it gets merged into the head soon.

The second fix has recently been merged and seems to work.
