--- Comment #4 from RazvanN <razvan.nitu1305@gmail.com> ---
I don't think that dg should be viewed as a delegate even though the compiler actually creates one for the int. Logically you still have an int value which you are trying to assign to a delegate. Closing as WONTFIX.

(In reply to RazvanN from comment #4)

I disagree.  If you have a lazy parameter, when you reference it in the function you are saying "evaluate it at this point".  Essentially, a lazy parameter is just syntactic sugar for a delegate, so it makes perfect sense to be able to access said delegate.  I certainly can't see any reason not to allow the programmer to do this.

(I realise you could effectively achieve this with a delegate literal:
int delegate() dg_ = { return dg; };
But can D compilers be relied on to optimise this to be the original delegate
rather than a wrapper?)

Furthermore, individuals shouldn't be marking bugs as WONTFIX just because they personally disagree with them.  Let's see what Walter says.

You can do pragma(inline) int delegate() dg_ = { return dg; };

I interpreted Walter's comment and replied as an extension to his first comment.

As I interpret Walter's comment, it's talking about Li's original idea, that one should be able to use the bare name of the lazy parameter to mean the delegate.  Then I suggested defining &dg to mean the delegate.  Really, the essence of this issue is that it's suggesting definining a syntax to extract the delegate from a lazy function parameter - which could be a language-defined overload of the & (address-of) operator per comment 2, or it could be something else entirely.

--- Comment #8 from Andrei Alexandrescu <andrei@erdani.com> ---
On the face of it, a lazy parameter is a delegate so the request makes sense. On the other hand lazy T is meant to be "pretty much the same as T". This works today:

void test(lazy int dg){
    int delegate() dg_ = { return dg; };
}

I'm not sure how it interacts with attributes and qualifiers.

This could be made to work:

void test(lazy int dg){
    int delegate() dg_ = &dg;
}

Currently, oddly enough (and definitely a bug), this issues an unfit error
message:

void test(lazy int dg){
    auto x = &dg;
}

"Error: lazy variable dg cannot be modified" :o)

So it seems like taking the address of a lazy is "available" and could return the underlying delegate.
