Don't link to external web site. Instead please directly paste the code in
comment, or attach code file.

// Code:
import std.stdio;

struct S
{
    ubyte* b;
    ubyte buf[128];

    this(this)
    {
        writeln("postblit");
    }
}

auto ref makeS()
{
    S s;
    s.b = s.buf;
    writeln("made S at ", cast(void*)&s, ", s.b == ", s.b);
    return s;
}

void main() 
{
    S s = makeS();
    writeln("got back S at ", cast(void*)&s, ", s.b == ", s.b);
}

// Code:
import std.stdio;

struct S
{
    ubyte* b;
    ubyte buf[128];

    this(this)
    {
        writeln("postblit");
    }
}

auto ref makeS()
{
    S s;
    s.b = s.buf;
    writeln("made S at ", cast(void*)&s, ", s.b == ", s.b);
    return s;
}

void main() 
{
    S s = makeS();
    writeln("got back S at ", cast(void*)&s, ", s.b == ", s.b);
}

> copies the struct and ivokes postblit just fine.
