Issue ID: 24561
Summary: inout on opAssign allows you to mutate member
variables
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: dmd
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
This code compiles
---
void main()
{
static struct V {
int _data;
ref opAssign(T)(auto ref T rhs) inout
if(is(immutable T == immutable V))
{
this._data = rhs._data;
return this;
}
}
V v;
auto u = v;
v = u;
}
---
However, it really shouldn't, because inout could be const or immutable
underneath the hood. If the opAssign is not templated, then it correctly gives
an error, but it doesn't if it's templated like here.
That being said, the compiler still manages to give an error for the assignment
to v if v is marked as const, so that may be why the issue hasn't been caught
previously.
This may or may not be related to
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12793, which points to a similar
problem but specifically with a this This template parameter.
