In future release, non-static const or immutable field will be made an instance field.

struct S

{

immutable int x = 1;

}

static assert(S.sizeof == int.sizeof); // will succeed in the future

So current "implicit static" behavior is now deprecated.

A recent discussion https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/3452 brought up a matter I'd forgotten - struct fields that are immutable and have initializer are deprecated.

Why?
