Is this intended or known issue ? It works with 2.066.

SList!int gslist = [1,2,3,4,5,6]; // broken since 2.067
// Error: reinterpreting cast from NodeWithoutPayload* to Node* is not
supported in CTFE

DList!int gdlist = [1,2,3,4,5,6]; // broken since 2.067
// Error: non-constant expression ...

void main()
{
    SList!int lslist = [1,2,3,4,5,6]; // OK
    DList!int ldlist = [1,2,3,4,5,6]; // OK
}

Yes, it looks like there are problems with their implementations. Those questions aside, I would initialize such module variables in a module static this() anyway:

import std.container;

SList!int gslist;
DList!int gdlist;

static this() {
    gslist = [1,2,3,4,5,6];
    gdlist = [1,2,3,4,5,6];
}

void main() {
}

If you want the lists to be immutable, then the following initialization pattern works:

import std.container;

immutable SList!int gslist;
immutable DList!int gdlist;

auto init_gslist()
{
    return SList!int([1,2,3,4,5,6]);
}

auto init_gd_list()
{
    return DList!int([1,2,3,4,5,6]);
}

static this() {
    gslist = init_gslist();
    gdlist = init_gd_list();
}

void main() {
}

The fact that I needed the two module-level init_* functions is also problematic, right? For example, moving those inside static this() does not work.
