struct Test {}

void takes( ref const Test x ) {}

Test gives() { return Test(); }

int main() {
    takes( Test() );     // compiles
    // takes( gives() ); // doesn't compile
    readln();

    return 0;
}

Is this required behaviour? The compiler complains about gives() not being an lvalue, but the code doesn't seem to require it to be an lvalue.

No 'ref' does require the parameter as an lvalue, even if 'const' is present. This is different from C++. I think it's a duplicate of bug 3167.

Also, the struct literal 'Test()' currently returns an lvalue, not an rvalue.
See bug 5889.

Aha, I guess you're right, I assumed that const would fix it (bug 3167 only talks about normal refs), 'in' works though.

Bug 3167 does talk about 'const ref' in the later comments, e.g. http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3167#c12.

You're right again, sorry. I looked through the comments, but somehow didn't see that one. I'll mark this as invalid.
