I've got an immutable string declared in module scope, and I attempted
to get a pointer to its characters through both &str[0] and str.ptr.
However, it appears to me that the string is behaving like a manifest
constant, in that the pointer is null.
The language reference indicates that it has a location in memory and
thus has a pointer.
So, my question is thus: Is this a bug in DMD, or is this just something
I missed?
The pointer should not be null, even when `str` is a manifest constant.
But without code it's impossible to say if you're hitting a compiler bug
or if you're doing something wrong.
