Then it look like a dmd backend bug. Can you post the generated assembly ?

What are these ? What are they referering to

My guess is they are refering to length and
ptr for "%x" string literal, which is passed to writefln.


  43054d:       mov    -0x28(%rbp),%rdi
  430551:       callq  430874 <void
std.stdio.writefln!(immutable(char)[],
ulong).writefln(immutable(char)[], ulong)>
  430556:       xor    %eax,%eax
  430558:       leaveq
  430559:       retq

This calls writefln, this is not what your code does just above. Are you sure you are posting the right assembly ? Do you use the inline flag ?

I think you are confusing my post with some other post (I am not
OP).
My code sample was:

import std.stdio;

struct Y {
      int[] _data;
}

struct CFS {
      double x;
      Y growth;
}

void main() {
      auto s = CFS(1.0);
      writefln("%x", s.growth._data.length); // prints
3ff0000000000000
}

The constructor's argument was 2.0 in my previous sample, but it
should have been 1.0.
