i came across this one a few times too!

testcase:


struct Foo {
        void bar(ref const int _a) {
        }
}

void main()
{
        Foo a;

        int b=0;

        a.bar(b);
}

oh sorry there is even a smaller one:


void bar(ref const int _a) {
}

void main()
{
        int b=0;

        bar(b);
}

Please at least *try* to do a search for a pre-existing bug before you report a new one.

Sorry.  I actually did try.  My search for "const ref" turned up 200 items of which 199 were irrelevant.  The other one, I'm afaid, I missed.  My apologies.

Huh.  Weird.  When I did the search I got 3 hits.  Where did you enter the search terms?  I just put them in here:
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/

Maybe you did a search including all closed and resolved items?

Argh, yes, I searched for all items from http://d.puremagic.com/issues/query.cgi.
 Now I feel *really* silly.  I guess there is no need to include closed issues.
Again, I apologize.

No prob.  Sorry I accused you of not searching the DB, when you were just a victim bad UI.  Looks like you must have also used "any of the search terms" rather than "all of the search terms" (which is the default of the simpler search entry on the main page.)
