Greetings

Kindly take a look at the code below. I am using alias this with a function that returns by value. I believe in such cases the alias should not take affect when an instance of foo is being used as an lvalue. As a result elements of bar should not have been visible inside the constructor of foo.

Please comment. Is this a bug?

struct bar (bool B, N...) {

  int n = 0;

}

struct foo (N...) {

  bar!(true, N) _bar = void;

  

  bar!(true, N) getN() {

    return _bar;

  }

  alias getN this;

  public this(T) (T other)

    if (is(T unused : int)) {

    n = other;

  }

}

void main() {

  import std.stdio;

  foo!8 a = 42;

  writeln(a.n);

}
