Hello,
I have just recently started programming in D (a very pleasant
experience so
far I must say), but when experimenting with the the immutable attribute
I
discovered that the following code does not generate a compile time nor a
runtime error:
//Decalare immutable string
immutable char[] buf = "hello";
//Print the value of buf
writefln("buf = %s",buf);
//Change buf by using standard input
stdin.readln(buf);
//Print buf again
writefln("buf = %s",buf);
This is a bit confusing to be because I had assumed that immutable data
really
would be immutable (without casting). Why does the code above work?
It shouldn't. I don't know where the bug is. Please file a bug with a
complete program (with a main() function) here:

BTW, this has a segfault in Linux, so it's definitely trying to overwrite
immutable data.
