I was playing around with how T.init works. And I think I may
have found a type loophole.
Given that you may initialize a pointer member to the address to
a static global:
//----
__gshared int a = 0;
struct S
{
int* p = &a;
}
//----
Then, in theory, any variable, be they mutable or const, are
initialized to T.init:
//----
void main()
{
immutable S s;
}
//----
This is an issue, because I now have an immutable pointer that
points to mutable data:
//----
immutable S s = S.init;
immutable int* p = s.p;
assert(*p == 0); //OK
a = 5;
assert(*p == 5); //OK
//----
So this violates the type system...
The question here is:
Is this "legit" code? At what point do you think my code should
have been rejected?
