Hi all,
We recently had a discution on #D about copying a struct on the heap and
getting a pointer to it.
We come up with the following solution (Thanks to CyberShadow !) :
struct S;
S s; // Allocated locally.
[s].ptr; // Get a pointer to a copy in the heap of the struct
This should work:
S s;
auto p = new S(s);
It's a bug in the compiler if it doesn't. Unfortunately it doesn't for
primitive types, e.g. new int(5) does not work.

Yes it should, but it doesn't.
