I have a struct. The struct have a context pointer. I have this method :

The context pointer IS NOT COPIED.

Fixed it that way :

@property
auto save() inout {
     // XXX: dmd bug, context pointer isn't copied properly
     // doing it manualy using black magic.
     // Context pointer is the last element of the struct. Here in position 9.
     auto ret = inout(Lexer)(t, r.save, line, index);
     (cast(void**) &ret)[9] = (cast(void**) &this)[9];

     return ret;
}

1. We can't do anything with code snippets like that. A complete, compilable example is necessary.

2. Such bug reports, along with the complete example demonstrating it, needs to go into bugzilla, not here.


Agreed.  Can you also raise a bug for that failing gdc case.  I'm in the middle of improving the custom static chain passing code in gdc, and want to try and stamp out as much as possible in the process.


Thanks
