I had to look this one up. According to the spec, a shared struct does not mean that the variables of that struct are automatically shared. It means that the members of the struct are shared:
http://dlang.org/struct.html#ConstStruct Here is a test: import std.stdio; shared struct S { int i; int[] a; } void main() { auto s = S(); writeln(typeid(s)); writeln(typeid(s.i)); writeln(typeid(s.a)); } According to the output, the members are shared, not the struct: deneme.S shared(int) shared(shared(int)[]) > BTW: Thanks for your book!
