The same code works on windows DMD 1.65. But on linux:

delold.d(54): Error: mutable method std.file.DirEntry.isDir is not callable using
a const object

[code]
bool printFile(in DirEntry dirEntry, in Duration age, Options options)
{
    immutable string type = dirEntry.isDir ? "directory" : dirEntry.isFile ? "file" : "unknown";
    if (!options.beQuiet)
        writefln("%s %s, %s is %s days old", type, dirEntry.name,
        dirEntry.timeLastModified, age.total!"days");
    return true;
}
[/code]

It's because of caching. isDir on Linux calls a function with this comment:

        /++
            This is to support lazy evaluation, because doing stat's is
            expensive and not always needed.

            Try both stat and lstat for isFile and isDir
            to detect broken symlinks.
         +/
        void _ensureStatOrLStatDone()


Simple solution is to just take a plain DirEntry instead of "in DirEntry" so it isn't const.

Thanks Adam. Nice and portable then.
