DMD 2.063.2

struct S { char[] str; }

void main ()
{
    auto s1 = S(cast(char[])"abc");
    auto s2 = S(cast(char[])"Xbc");

    // indirect members in structs are compared by value
    assert (s1 != s2);  // ok, structs are compared not equal
    s2.str[0] = 'a';
    assert (s1 == s2);  // ok, structs are compared equal

    // not so in AA
    auto aa = [s1 : 1];

    auto s1aa = s1 in aa;
    assert (s1aa);

    auto s2aa = s2 in aa;
    assert (s2aa);   // fails, but should pass
                     // s2 should be found in aa the same way as s1
}

This is not really a bug. Structs by default are bitwise-compared.

If you want structs to be deep-compared, you need to define toHash and opCmp:

struct S {
    char[] str;

    size_t toHash() const {
        // Just use arrays' builtin hash function, no need to reinvent your own
        return typeid(str).getHash(&str);
    }

    // Note: this exact function signature must be used;
    // DMD is currently very picky about this.
    int opCmp(ref const S s) const {
        return typeid(str).compare(&str, &s.str);
    }
}

Once these two pieces are in place, your struct should work correctly as AA key.

This is a bug. structs are deeply compared by default as of last dmd release. I included an example of that in the bug report code.
