auto foo (ubyte [4] s)
{
   auto u = s;
   ubyte [4] tmp = u;
   u[0] = tmp [3];
   u[1] = tmp [2];
   u[2] = tmp [1];
   u[3] = tmp [0];
   return u;
}

unittest {
   enum ubyte [4] u = [1,2,3,4];
   enum r = foo (u);
   auto s = foo (u);
   assert (r == s);
}

According to the spec [1] the above code conforms to the CTFE restrictions and contains no pointers. It also does not contain "implementation defined behavior". Thus the result of CTFE and RTFE should be identical but they differ.

Suggestions appreciated!

even worse:

    ubyte[] u = s;
    ubyte[4] tmp = u;
    u[0] = tmp[3];
    u[3] = tmp[0];
    return u;
}

unittest{
    import std;

    enum ubyte[4] u = [1, 2, 3, 4];
    enum r = foo(u);
    auto s = foo(u);
    r.writeln;
    s.writeln;
    assert(r!=s);

This is a bug, please report it.

I would like to yield to someone with a GH account.
