`auto int a`?! it shouldn't be accepted at all!
Yeah, but it's the same with "auto ref".
`auto ref` has a well-defined meaning. yet `auto int` is
nonsence. it's
definitely a compiler bug. ;-)
I don't think so. `auto` is a valid storage class like `const`,
`immutable` and `shared`.
`auto` is not a storage class, but a `type placeholder`. at
least this is
what i've been told by W or A (sorry, i can't remember the
link; i think
it was somewhere in NG... or in bugzilla...). there is one
exception to
this rule, though: `auto ref`.
My understanding is that `auto` is just C legacy, and originally
had the same meaning as in C. But apparently the language has
moved away from that over time.
