It used to be the case that const(inout(T)) = const(T),
Anyone want to run git bisect and see when this changed? This
would help in figuring out the rationale.
Here's the code to test with it:
inout(const char)* foo(inout(const(char))* p)
{
pragma(msg, typeof(p));
static assert(is(typeof(p) == const(char)*));
return p;
}
This code doesn't compile in any version going as far back as
2.038, and before that one this code gets a syntax error.
This line:
static assert(is(const(inout(int)) == const(int)));
stops working after:
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/2992
The same pull request changes the type of p in the above example
from inout(char)* to inout(const(char))* (it was never
const(char)*).
