case c2 seems fine to me. What is the problem with it? This seems akin to string interning.

fieldrefinit.d(5): Error: variable `fieldrefinit.S.static_c` is a thread-local
class and cannot have a static initializer. Use `static this()` to initialize
instead.
fieldrefinit.d(6): Error: static variable `static_c` cannot be read at compile
time

It compiles if static_c is made const/immutable, but then c3 is fine.

The problem with c2 is issue 10376. I agree that c1 should not be allowed.

Sorry, that's not what's happending for c2. I also don't understand why c2 is bad.

Strings barely have identity, but class objects in general have identity. One might expect every `S` default initialized instance has its own `immutable C` object referenced by `c2`, but that’s not the case! Surprising programmers simply isn’t a great idea and a workaround is easy.
