On page 249 of TDPL (Andrei's book), in a section on structs and postblits, it says "D objects must be relocatable" and other similar statements while banning internal pointers.

I knew this applies to structs and the context makes that plainly clear, but the word "object" is a bit ambiguous: does this apply to classes too?

And object is an instantiation of a class. I guess it could be ambiguous but generally I think object = class(misnomer but simple). Structs can exist on the heap and be very similar to objects and I suppose it is possible to allocate classes on the stack so theoretically I guess it is ambiguous but in programming parlance it is not.
