struct c { uint a, b;}
    __gshared const c d = { 3, 4};
    __gshared const e = &d.a;

./test.d(4): Error: expression &c(3u, 4u).a is not a constant

I need this to work around C struct array member like this:

struct c {
     uint32_t a, b;
     uint32_t[] arr;
}

If I can take const object member address as __gshared const, then the problem is fixed.

Or if I can force cast the const object pointer into other type, will work be able to work this around. (but not work)

The addresses of items stored in memory are by definition not constant. This isn't a bug.

If so why this can work ?

struct c { uint a, b;}
__gshared const c d = { 3, 4};
__gshared const e = & d;

the e can get address of d, then it should be to get address of d.a

Yes, this looks like a bug. Please report if not reported already.

Thanks for explain.

Some how I can not create account for d Bugs, I hope we have use github bugs.

Please help me create a bug report if who has free time and bugs account.
