          Issue ID: 21896
           Summary: static if test fails after alias assignment
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: dmd

          Reporter: andrei@erdani.com

Consider the code below. The first static assert passes, the second fails:

template Works(T)
{
    static if (is(T U == const U))
    {
        pragma(msg, "is const");
        alias Works = U;
    }
    else
    {
                alias Works = T;
    }
}

template Fails(T)
{
    alias Fails = T;
    static if (is(T U == const U))
    {
        pragma(msg, "assigning");
        Fails = U;
    }
}

static assert(is(Works!(const int) == int));
static assert(is(Fails!(const int) == int));
