           Summary: [CTFE] struct constructor not recognized under weird

So there's a struct with a ubyte. To shut up dmd about implicit conversions I added a constructor but it isn't recognized.

// this failes
immutable int dummy = init();
int init()
{
    uint x;
6:    auto p = F(x);
    return 0;
}

struct F
{
    ubyte th;
    this(uint x)
    { th = cast(ubyte) x; }
}

// while it works in this case
void main()
{
    uint x;
    auto p = F(x);
}

$ dmd -c posecells.d
DMD v2.055 DEBUG
posecells.d(6): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (x) of type uint to
ubyte
posecells.d(2): Error: cannot evaluate init() at compile time

Weird thing is, if you remove 'int' in front of 'dummy' it magically works.

This isn't a CTFE bug. Reduced test case:

uint NINE = 9;
typeof(F(NINE)) fails;

struct F
{
    ubyte th;
    this(uint x)
    { th = cast(ubyte) x; }
}

This is a forward reference issue. It compiles if you move the declaration of 'fails' past the declaration of F.
