           Summary: you get opCall missing when cast to a struct(diagnostic)
           Product: D
           Version: 1.026
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: diagnostic
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla@digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: davidl@126.com


struct mystruct{}
void main()
{
        mystruct* a= new mystruct;
        mystruct b= cast(mystruct)a;
}
teststructnew.d(5): Error: no property 'opCall' for type 'mystruct'
teststructnew.d(5): Error: function expected before (), not 1 of type int
teststructnew.d(5): Error: no property 'opCall' for type 'mystruct'
teststructnew.d(5): Error: function expected before (), not 1 of type int
teststructnew.d(5): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (1(1(a))) of
type int to mystruct

I think message: cannot implicitly convert from type mystruct* to mystruct would be more clear.

it's not implicitly , just the cast should be banned.

Even it's banned, the compiler should give better message to the user.
